I actually think for open-source projects that pulling from a public
server, without having made any commits of your own, is probably the
MOST common scenario.

I don't know enough about using bookmarks to comment on whether this
particular behavior of bookmarks simplifies that common scenario, or
whether people who would be affected by this would even USE bookmarks,
but the action of pulling without having made any changes should be
very common.
