Hi Mathias,

I hadn't seen this mail.

I agree.

In fact, back in 2014 I wrote a builtin called `git update` to fix all
the problems with `git pull`. That command worked exactly as you
suggest.

I recently sent a new proposal for `git update` [1] asking for feedback on
how different arguments should be handled. Nobody has suggested
anything.

For the next iteration I will implement what you suggested, in my
opinion it makes sense.

Cheers.
