Are you by any chance running a version of git that has some
unofficial patches that affect the generation of not-for-merge
markers?
No, I just reproduced this on plain 1.4.2.
Doesn't reproduce for me and I am getting worried.
Has anybody else seen this?

I haven't. Michael, could you retry with "GIT_TRACE=1 sh -x -v git-pull" ?
I suspect invisible (like \r) character in your remotes. Missing last \n could
be interesting too.

No, that was my mistake, sorry about not clarifying that.

Basically what confused me was the following text in get-fetch manpage:

	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.

And this actually applied to remotes in $GITDIR/remotes and not just
when git-pull is run without any parameters.
