EXAMPLES
--------
-git pull, git pull origin::
- Update the remote-tracking branches for the repository
- you cloned from, then merge one of them into your
- current branch. Normally the branch merged in is
- the HEAD of the remote repository, but the choice is
- determined by the branch.<name>.remote and
- branch.<name>.merge options; see linkgit:git-config[1]
- for details.
-
-git pull origin next::
- Merge into the current branch the remote branch `next`;
- leaves a copy of `next` temporarily in FETCH_HEAD, but
- does not update any remote-tracking branches.
-
-git pull . fixes enhancements::
- Bundle local branch `fixes` and `enhancements` on top of
- the current branch, making an Octopus merge. This `git pull .`
- syntax is equivalent to `git merge`.
-
-git pull -s ours . obsolete::
- Merge local branch `obsolete` into the current branch,
- using `ours` merge strategy.
-
-git pull --no-commit . maint::
- Merge local branch `maint` into the current branch, but
- do not make a commit automatically. This can be used
- when you want to include further changes to the merge,
- or want to write your own merge commit message.

You should refrain from abusing this option to sneak substantial
changes into a merge commit. Small fixups like bumping
release/version name would be acceptable.
