Hello,

I used to 'git pull' in a branch and it was working without any questions asked. But now, if I do the following:

git checkout -b test git pull

I get a warning telling me that "You asked me to pull without telling me which branch ...". I would expect that my new local branch behaves the same way as the master branch.

I am using 1.7.0.3
