1. This isn't currently possible. It would require git to track the staging area for each commmit and branch.

2. See 1.

3. `git pull` by definition conducts a fetch because it Incorporates changes from a remote repository into the current branch.

4. Use `git config push.default current`.

5. Use `git branch --no-track new existing`.

6. I assume this is something to do with the reflog.
