Re: How to merge FETCH_HEAD?

No. FETCH_HEAD is local. And for local merges, you should use git-merge, 
not git-pull.

But, that can not take FETCH_HEAD either.
Would it be useful for git-merge FETCH_HEAD to work?

Please try again, starting from the "git fetch".

I suspect the reason you think "merge FETCH_HEAD" does not work
is because you lost FETCH_HEAD when you did "git pull . FETCH_HEAD",
as I explained to you in an earlier message.

Yes, that was it, thanks!
