I work on a few machines so I have repositories on all of them. One

because it's quite inconvenient when you just need to push some
changes to a machine, you have to push it to the central repository
then pull from that (and if the central repository is on WAN, double
inconvenient). Maybe this model is just plain wrong, but it'd be fun
to see if Git can work with this model.

You can always use fetch (and pull) without specifying a remote:

  $ git fetch host:/path/repo some-branch
  $ git log ..FETCH_HEAD # git merge FETCH_HEAD

Maybe fetch should be extended to record this operation in .git/config?

  $ git fetch ---save=host-some host:/path/repo some-branch some-branch
  $ git remote -v
  ...
  host-some	host:/path/repo (fetch)
  $
