Fetching all branches created a new problem: can i tell git that it
should rebase branches against master by default?  Because now when i
checked a non-master, non-staging local branch and called 'git pull
-r' he said

You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you
want to rebase against, and 'branch.mook.merge' in
your configuration file does not tell me, either. Please
specify which branch you want to use on the command line and
try again (e.g. 'git pull <repository> <refspec>').
See git-pull(1) for details.

If you often rebase against the same branch, you may want to
use something like the following in your configuration file:

    [branch "mook"]
    remote = <nickname>
    merge = <remote-ref>
    rebase = true

    [remote "<nickname>"]
    url = <url>
    fetch = <refspec>

See git-config(1) for details.

Of course i can do what he suggests, but it means either
- a lot of typing 'git pull -r origin refs/heads/master' (if i got it right)
- editing config file every time i create a branch (not nice).

Ideas?
