Omit Needless Words

“You asked me to pull without telling me which branch…”

When you get this rather annoying error message after trying a git pull, what do you do to fix it?

I just blew away the repo and re-created it with git clone <repo>. When I looked in the .git/config file in the newly cloned repo, I saw these magic settings:

[branch "master"]
  remote = origin
  merge = refs/heads/master
