Yeah.. Although fetching multiple remotes makes more sense as an

That's what "git fetch" is for. :-)
Perhaps the real confusion is created because the only porcelain
level merge command current in Git is "git pull .". A separate name
might make things easier to grasp.
Indeed. Having pull = fetch + merge and not having a porcelain merge
command is not good, usability-wise. As is, one _has_ to learn the
weird ways of pull even if one is only interested in using separate
commands to fetch and merge.
