And I think I got it sussed out with:

  cd mydir

OK, I had misunderstood what you wanted. Yes, that should work, though I
think you will need to do a 'git-fetch' between your push and checkout.

And then git-pull / git-push will "do the right thing". And `git-pull
origin/v1.9-maint` will trigger a fetch & merge.

Actually, it should be "git-pull origin v1.9-maint". Of course, you've
been fetching origin/v1.9-maint all along when you pull your other
branch, so you can do it without touching the network at all: "git-merge
origin/v1.9-maint".
