Just add contrib/multi-pull/ directory and put your shell script
there, something like:

	#!/bin/sh
	append=
	for repo
        do
        	git fetch $append $repo
                append=--append
	done
	merge_name=$(git fmt-merge-msg <"$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD")
        git merge -m "$merge_name" $(sed -e '/	not-for-merge	/d'
        		-e 's/	.*//' "$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD")

If it turns out to be useful for many people, it may become part
of the main Porcelain.  It's too early to talk about touching
git-pull at all.
