Please change your "please pull" script so that the branch-name is 
mentioned at the end of the same line as the repo name.

Not only does that make cut-and-paste work, it avoids the easy mistake of 
not noticing the branch-name and instead merging the "master" branch by 
mistake (which I did at first, and ended up fixing up a merge conflict 
until I noticed that it wasn't even what you asked me to pull..).

Ok?
