It all looks good, especially your description of the git pull variations which seem more natural than what exists now.

The only minor comment i'd make is that we shouldn't mix so many different names for the same thing. In your example you have "remote" (singular) sections with branch sections that contain "source" keys which map to those remote sections, both corresponding to "refs/remotes" (plural).

There doesn't seem to be any need to stick with "source" as a key, so :

[remote "origin/master"]
	repo = origin
	branch = master

[branch "master"]
	remote = "origin/master"
