FETCH_HEAD is a short-lived ref, to keep track of what has just been fetched from the remote repository. git pull first invokes git fetch, in normal cases fetching a branch from the remote; FETCH_HEAD points to the tip of this branch (it stores the SHA1 of the commit, just as branches do). git pull then … Read more
What is currently happening is, that you have a certain set of files, which you have tried merging earlier, but they threw up merge conflicts. Ideally, if one gets a merge conflict, they should resolve them manually, and commit the changes using git add file.name && git commit -m “removed merge conflicts”. Now, another user … Read more
If you are running git under a file system that is not case sensitive (Windows or OS X) this will occur if there are two branches with the same name but different capitalisation, e.g. user_model_changes and User_model_changes as both of the remote branches will match the same tracking ref. Delete the wrong remote branch (you … Read more

Summary By default, git pull creates merge commits which add noise and complexity to the code history. In addition, pull makes it easy to not think about how your changes might be affected by incoming changes. The git pull command is safe so long as it only performs fast-forward merges.
