git-pull only accepts one repository. With this patch it makes sense to accept more than one repository. I would like to rewrite git-pull to accept more than one repository. This might break compatibility with existing git-pull. One solution could be to introduce a new command that does the same as git-pull and more. What about naming such a command git-update and deprecate git-pull.

I believe such an command should not specify the repository and the refspec but should instead specify the remote tracking branch or a local branch if descired. I believe this would be more natural to use and just as easier to implement.
