This is quite limiting, if you keep multiple branches from origin in your
repository.
It would be better to be able to specify per-branch Pull lines. I.e. the
default pull action depends on the branch you are on.

        URL: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
        Pull(master): master:origin

        ~/git/git-core]git-checkout maint
 	~/git/git-core]git pull
 	warning: no default pull action for branch 'maint' specified

Syntax arguable.
