Could you explain a situation where this would be useful? A "parent<-->child" relationship, where there's one upstream branch that is always merged in, is easily handled; just replace your "git pull parent" by a "git pull", right? Am I misunderstanding the proposal?
And is there any reason why your proposal conflicts with Junio's?
