Unlike 'svn update', a 'git pull' doesn't automatically merge local changes.
git fails instead. git is missing this 'automatic merge on pull' feature.
If you have local changes, you must do

git stash ; git pull ; git stash pop

Christoph

P.S.: With mercurial you do 'hg pull -u' and local changes are automatically
merged.
