I vote for a config option

 core.pull.stopWithoutDefaultMerge

which would error out on a

 git pull

when no branch.<current branch>.merge is set with a message like

 "No default remote branch set to merge into current branch <branch>.
  Set branch.<branch>.remote/merge to make this work"

It is arguable if this option should change the behavior of
"git pull <repo>". Probably not: I would assume that the
user explicitly wants to merge the primary branch of <repo>.

Additionally, set branch.<primary>.remote/merge on git-clone,
together with core.pull.stopWithoutDefaultMerge=1.
