This can be solved by symlinking the config to one designated repo (let's call it the "master" repo).

I'd just make a small script which I'd run from the "master" repo instead of saying "git pull":

-- snip --
git pull || exit
for branch in branch1 branch2 branch3; do
	cd $branch && git pull .. $branch && cd .. || exit
done
-- snap --

This assumes that you have named the side branches "branch1", "branch2" and "branch3", and that they are checked out in the subdirectories of the same name.
