You can always use fetch (and pull) without specifying a remote:

  $ git fetch host:/path/repo some-branch
  $ git log ..FETCH_HEAD # git merge FETCH_HEAD

Maybe fetch should be extended to record this operation in .git/config?

  $ git fetch ---save=host-some host:/path/repo some-branch some-branch
  $ git remote -v
  ...
  host-some	host:/path/repo (fetch)
  $
