It turns out that most of the change in the series looked necessary only
because the last one tried to implement a wrong thing.  The branch.*.merge
configuration variable names the branch on the remote side to be fetched
and merged by "git pull" and its value typically is refs/heads/something,
not the name of the remote tracking branch of such a remote branch.

I ended up redoing most of it and came up with a two-patch series, which
I'll be sending out shortly.

I won't be doing the tests, though.  At least not tonight.
