Subject: Default behavior of git pull
Message-ID: <7a97ac78-f405-2dca-2998-f03637cc8255@gmail.com>

Wouldn't it make sense if "git pull" would by default also pull the 
branch with the same name from the remote, in case no upstream is 
configured?

If I can push to a remote with a simple "git push", then I'd also expect 
to be able to pull from that same remote with a simple "git pull".

Does anything speak against this?

Example:

   git clone $url
   git checkout -b fix-1
   # do commits
   git push           # push to origin/fix-1 (works)
   git push origin    # push to origin/fix-1 (works)
   # other people push to origin/fix-1
   git pull           # pull from origin/fix-1 (fails)
   git pull origin    # pull from origin/fix-1 (fails)
