This patch deprecates the behavior of "git pull" without a
branch.<name>.remote value in the configuration. The value
"origin" will be used, but a warning will be printed too.

In this case, I think we can warn because branch.*.remote
lines are created by checkouts made with 1.5 or later.

-----------------
Often people use `git pull` without giving any parameter.
-Traditionally, this has been equivalent to saying `git pull
-origin`. However, when configuration `branch.<name>.remote` is
-present while on branch `<name>`, that value is used instead of
-`origin`.
+While on branch `<name>`, this will use the value of configuration
+`branch.<name>.remote` as the branch to pull from. If the
+value is not present, it will be implicitly considered to be
+`origin`; however, this is deprecated and you consider
+writing the value explicitly in the configuration file.
In order to determine what URL to use to fetch from, the value
of the configuration `remote.<origin>.url` is consulted
