Actually, the '--track' option is exactly what I don't want ! :) It tells me:
"Branch test set up to track local branch refs/heads/master."

Without the '--track' option it seems to work as expected: when I pull it downloads data form the remote but then stops before merging. This used to work! What happened ? :(
