Please, just `git pull` if I double click on a commit I don't have, instead of erroring

      First, this is an issue that has bugged me for a long time. Surprised if it hasn't been reported before.

       

      But if I go on vacation (like I just did) and come back to work, I'll see the changes that occurred while I was away. 

       

      I'm locally on `master`, and there have been commits pushed to the remote `master` since I was away.

       

      Next thing I do is double-click on the latest commit, and I'm greeted with an error message.

       

      fatal: a branch named 'master' already exists

       

      Can we just do a `git pull` on that, instead of making me tap the "pull" button. In every case when I double-tap on any commit, I want to bring that commit local. And if it's not local, it would be great if it would automatically `git pull` and bring it local, and not give me an error message.

       

      I mean, please please please can this be changed?
