I was under the impression that git pull is git pull + merge of corresponding branches in remotes files. ie master -> origin and RELENG_1 -> RELENG_1. Is such a pull possible, for all lines in remotes file?

In my case I am only interested in RELENG_1 branch, so would it be fine if I just put the "Pull: refs/heads/RELENG_1:refs/heads/RELENG_1" line in my remotes file? Since I use StGIT I do not intend to modify my local RELENG_1 branch except by StGIT patches, so all pulls from remote should be fast forward merged. Thus if the stg pull can pull in the remote RELENG_1 to local RELENG_1 with patched popped, and fastforward merge it, it would be great.
