I believe this use-case is valid:

 * The user wants *all* his remote tracking branches to point to the
latest branch head in all the repos in the case the can be
fast-forwarded, and in the case they can't, print an error and
continue with the rest.

Right now I would have to do 'git fetch --all' go to every remote
tracking branch, and do 'git merge @{upstream}'.

Do you have a better idea how to achieve that instead of 'git pull --al=
l'?
