No -- for both #2 and #3 I want the remote branch to be merged into the
local branch.
In the example I gave for use case #2, foo is a local branch with
origin/foo as the configured upstream and origin/foo was forked off of
origin/master. Someone pushed new stuff to origin/master, and the user
wants the new stuff to also be in origin/foo. So the user does this:
git checkout foo
git pull --ff-only # this is use case #1
git pull origin master # this is use case #2
git push
The merge commit created by 'git pull origin master' should have
origin/master as the second parent, not the first.
