Hi cjl,

  I'm trying to commit the POs marksed as "not checked" in Pootle 2.0. Most
of them become "checked" without problem. However, I've got some of them
with the following error:

Failed to commit file: [GIT] pull failed (['git', '--git-dir',
'/var/lib/pootle/checkouts/fructose82/calculate-activity/.git',
'pull']): You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you
want to merge with, and 'branch.sucrose-0.82.merge' in your
configuration file does not tell me either. Please specify which
branch you want to merge on the command line and try again (e.g. 'git
pull <repository> <refspec>'). See git-pull(1) for details. If you
often merge with the same branch, you may want to configure the
following variables in your configuration file:
branch.sucrose-0.82.remote = <nickname>  branch.sucrose-0.82.merge =
<remote-ref>  remote.<nickname>.url = <url>  remote.<nickname>.fetch =
<refspec> See git-config(1) for details.

Do you know how should I fix them? Thanks.
