Yeah, if "git push --set-upstream" affects the settings that is used by "git pull", then the above description is good. Does this new "git pull --set-upstream" affect the settings used by "git push"? I somehow did not think so. It records the remote and branch used by this particular "git pull" invocation in branch.<name>.{remote,merge} for use by future uses of "git pull", right?
