They don't have to do that, they just have to do "git pull". This
concept -- that to get the latest changes, one pulls -- is something
people learn very early.
So, in fact it seems quite natural -- you switch to a local branch
with "git co branch", and then if git tells you it's not up-to-date,
you "git pull". All nice and smooth and simple and standard. The
DWIM simply makes the first time less clumsy, and while everybody
benefits, beginners probably benefit a bit more.
