Just erase "git pull" it from your command cache and use commands that
manipulate your repo in somewhat understandable ways:
An alternative approach to this is just to create local branches for
anything you work on - keep upstream pristime. branches are cheap in git
and I find it easier to merge my branched local changes into master, esp
if I find a machine with un-pushed commits to master.
