-------------------------------------------------
-$ git checkout master
-$ git fetch origin +pu:pu maint:tmp
-$ git pull . tmp

-This updates (or creates, as necessary) branches `pu` and `tmp` in
-the local repository by fetching from the branches (respectively)
-`pu` and `maint` from the remote repository.
-+
-The `pu` branch will be updated even if it is does not fast-forward;
-the others will not be.

-The final command then merges the newly fetched `tmp` into master.
