Sean suggestion worked for me.

Work flow is now a bit complicated. I clone the repository. Now i need
to edit remotes/origin to make sure what all branches i need to
follow. And then do a git pull origin. Earlier i just need to do a
clone and a git pull. I don't need to fast forward pu branch. But then
i need to get the update of master branch. since git-fetch fails
update pu branch git pull origin fails to update master branch also
which i am really interested.
