About the discussion about branch.<name>.merge specifying remote branch name and relative merits of specifying remote branch name (without need for tracking branch), and local branch name (which is supposedly more user friendly, and branch name specifies also remote usually)...

Perhaps it is time to resurrect branch.<name>.mergeLocal (or localMerge) idea, and both sides would be happy (well, at least when one would code it ;-).
