Badass git pull alias (up) to show commit log that just got pulled in addition to changes

Badass git pull alternative

Add this in your path as git-up and git-reup (symbolic link) and it amps up your git pull by means of git up

  1. Adds in a list of the commits you're pulling down
  2. Auto-prunes remote branches
  3. Defaults to pull --rebase - gets rid of unnecessary merge commits. If you don't know what rebase does, this is probably safe for you. If you know what rebase does, you should know where this will not be safe for you.

Kyle Neath, Ryan Tomayko and then Zach Holman basically figured out how to do this. TheSpyder found a small error on case sensitive file systems.

Your script doesn't work on case sensitive file systems - just replace the two calls to git rev-parse head with git rev-parse HEAD :)

I may be syncing this file in my dotfiles repo to avoid having to redownload it every time. To ease my conscience, have you published it under any licence~?
