        Already up-to-date.
        [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>git-pull -t
        You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you
        want to merge with, and 'branch.master.merge' in
        your configuration file does not tell me either.  Please
        name which branch you want to merge on the command line and
        try again (e.g. 'git pull <repository> <refspec>').
        See git-pull(1) for details on the refspec.
        
        If you often merge with the same branch, you may want to
        configure the following variables in your configuration
        file:
        
            branch.master.remote = <nickname>
            branch.master.merge = <remote-ref>
            remote.<nickname>.url = <url>
            remote.<nickname>.fetch = <refspec>
        
        See git-config(1) for details.
        zsh: exit 1     git-pull -t

So my config for branch.master.merge doesn't tell it what to merge, eh?

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>git-config --get branch.master.merge
        refs/heads/master

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>git-pull -t origin refs/heads/master
        Already up-to-date.

If I can pull these values out of git-config, why can't git-pull?
And why does it imply that it tried to use these values, and they
weren't set? (And why is git-pull -t different than git-pull w/o -t?)

When I looked at the code, I was suprised to find that it really
doesn't look at branch.${curr_branch}.merge at all, despite saying it
did in the error message.
