Thanks for the patch. On overall, it looks good to me. Some minor
comments below.

Nit: you seem to be wrapping your lines with a rather short length. I
would prefer reading this as a single line:

1. We're not on a branch, so there is no branch configuration.

(62 columns)

This should appear in comments in the test 'fail if not on a branch'.
People reading your [branch ""] in the future won't look for
below-triple-dash comments in the mailing-list archives ...

And actually, it would be more user-friendly to trigger this error
message in the normal senario, i.e. check for 1. before 4. in the code.
This was most likely the intension of the programmer who wrote this
error message. You may want to fix this now, or add a
test_expect_failure which will become a test_expect_success when you
replace git-pull.sh with builtin/pull.c.

It may make sense to grep only a subset of the string, to be less
sensitive to rewords of error message. For example, just:

test_i18ngrep "not currently on a branch"
