Re: defaults for where to merge from

quoted

If everyone hated the old behavior, old users should already be careful
about not git-pull'ing (without options) from any branch but master.  So
they won't see any difference.

except for .git/config growing uncontrollably

While I am probably going to modify the patch to satisfy Junio, have you 
noticed that "git branch -d" will delete the section, hence .git/config 
will not be growing uncontrollably?
