Re: Pull is Mostly Evil

To that end, I suggest that pull's default behaviour should be to do
*nothing*.  It should just print out a message to the effect that it
hasn't been configured, and that the user should run "git help pull"
for guidance.

Fetching is uncontentious, and I _think_ that fast-forwards are pretty
uncontentious as well.

It's just when the merge-left/merge-right/rebase-left/rebase-right
decision kicks in that prescribing one git-pull behavior looks like a
recipe for trouble.
