bzr pull -- synchronize branch to parent exactly, never does a
non-trivial merge, sometimes operates on a non-local
branch and not on the workspace IIRC.
git pull -- merges branch into workspace, commits unless conflict,
never affects a branch outside of the workspace.
hg pull -- fetches branch, never updates workspace or affects a
branch outside of the workspace.
I don't see the point of having a single command whose implementation
can vary so randomly. That's not a uniform UI, that's a
nondeterministic one.
I agree that perfectly uniform semantics is not really possible, of
course.
Looks like the sub-operations are:
(0) determine "news"
(1) download "news" (to some temporary space)
(2) merge (conditionally, looping for conflict resolution, etc)
(3) commit
Can these DVCSes do such sub-operations *individually* somehow?
Step (3) is given, but the others?
