Explicitly add the default "git pull" behaviour to .git/config on clone
Without any specification in the .git/config file, git-pull will execute
"git-pull origin"; which in turn defaults to pull from the first "pull"
definition for the remote, "origin".
This is a difficult set of defaults to track for a new user, and it's
difficult to see what tells git to do this (especially when it is
actually hard-coded behaviour). To ameliorate this slightly, this patch
explicitly specifies the default behaviour during a clone using the
"branch" section of the config.
For example, a clone of a typical repository would create a .git/config
containing:
[remote "origin"]
url = proto://host/repo.git
fetch = refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
The [branch "master"] section is such that there is no change to the
functionality of git-pull, but that functionality is now explicitly
documented.
