You shouldn't.

I have four Pull: lines like these for .git/remotes/ko

        URL: kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git/
        Pull: master:refs/tags/ko-master
        Pull: next:refs/tags/ko-next
        Pull: +pu:refs/tags/ko-pu
        Pull: maint:refs/tags/ko-maint
        Push: heads/master
        Push: heads/next
        Push: +heads/pu
        Push: heads/maint

and "git pull ko" leaves this in .git/FETCH_HEAD:

        460c...		branch 'master' of .kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git
        767f...	not-for-merge	branch 'next' of .kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git
        9bd4...	not-for-merge	branch 'pu' of .kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git
        9a1a...	not-for-merge	branch 'maint' of .kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git

The latter three are not merged into the current branch with the
above pull command.

Are you by any chance running a version of git that has some
unofficial patches that affect the generation of not-for-merge
markers?
