Re: git pull suggestion

git does _not_ implement a handy Porcelain to do this, but we could script
it like this (I am only illustrating that it can be done, but I am leaving
the reason why git chooses not to to a later part of this message).

Actually, another way to do this is

git commit -a
git rebase origin/where-you-want-to-merge-from
git reset HEAD^

That would not necessarily be a good way to implement a command, but I
often use variants of this interactively.
