Yann started a thread on this but I didn't find the time to look at
this properly. He's idea was to store the remote branch information in
the StGIT metadata but I'd like to leave this for GIT to deal with.

The StGIT UI can probably be modified to display something useful but

With the recent changes, StGIT shares the config files with GIT and it
has direct access to git settings without the need to use
git-repo-config. Just use "config.has_key" and "config.get_option".

Maybe a combination of your two options - StGIT could try to get the
default branch and, if there isn't any in the config files, just
invoke git-pull without any argument (and display something like
"pulling from default").
