[PATCH v4 05/19] pull: implement fetch + merge

From
Paul Tan <pyokagan@gmail.com>
Date

Message-ID

<1434624852-6869-1-git-send-email-pyokagan@gmail.com>

Implement the fetch + merge functionality of git-pull, by first running git-fetch with the repo and refspecs provided on the command line, then running git-merge on FETCH_HEAD to merge the fetched refs into the current branch.
