The behavior of Git did not change. The content of your configuration file or the branch you are on did. The way to put the right content in your configuration file is --track.

When you create a branch, you say what the starting point of your branch is, and if you say --track, Git remembers it and uses it for pull next time. The simplest is to start your branch based on remotes/<name>/<branchname>, which is where your probably want to pull from.

Otherwise, --set-upstream may help. But neither will help untill you RTFM.
