Somehow I hadn't succeeded in getting git-pull to do what I wanted,
whilst git-fetch does what I want, so I disregarded the warning.  I
didn't like the way git-pull would just pull stuff into whatever was
the current branch locally, preferring to cherry-pick or merge
manually.

I was fetching onto my work PC to check that it really worked
(ironically, trying to avoid exactly the type of snafu that happened
anyway!), before sending my email.
