Git pull doesn't work the same as similar mechanisms for other vcs systems, bzr pull, svn update etc. Git 
pull fetches changes and attempts to merge the latest changes, thats how I understand it from reading the git 
pull manpage.

A shorter way of updating is:
1. git fetch origin
2. git reset --hard origin

Although I am not sure if there is any difference between using those steps and the 5 step version, in terms 
of the working tree.
