RFC: git pull <remote> making an octopus?

Hi!
If I do

$git pull origin

where origin is a file in .git/remotes/origin with multiple Pull: lines,
then I seem to get an octopus merge. I would expect it to behave
in the same way as git pull without parameters.
Is this a bug or a feature?

My git pull page says:
              While
              git-pull run without  any  explicit  <refspec>  parameter  takes
              default  <refspec>s  from  Pull: lines, it merges only the first
              <refspec> found into the current branch, after fetching all  the
              remote  refs. This is because making an Octopus from remote refs
              is rarely done, while keeping track of multiple remote heads  in
              one-go by fetching more than one is often useful.

So, the same logic seems to apply to anything under .git/remotes.
Right?
