Yeah, I figured out export/import do what I want, and I'm happy sticking to 
them.  (It's what I was using up until now.)

Pull is probably fine for yanking batches of dozens of commits, but for one or 
two at a time it seems much more heavyweight than necessary.

Thanks for pointing me at the extension.
