Hi,
It seems I hit a deprecated help message:

% git pull There is no tracking information for the current branch. Please specify which branch you want to merge with. See git-pull(1) for details

    git pull <remote> <branch>
If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with:
    git branch --set-upstream nsiv2 origin/<branch>

% git branch --set-upstream nsiv2 origin/nsiv2 The --set-upstream flag is deprecated and will be removed. Consider using --track or --set-upstream-to Branch nsiv2 set up to track remote branch nsiv2 from origin.

Jeroen.
