Depends if you want to keep your old history or not. "git pull" works
nicely.

I run into this yesterday. My master had the same code but different
history than origin. Did a git rebase (after branching my master so i
can keep my old history) and expected it to make master identical to
origin. I know i can achieve the same by copying the origin head over to
the master head but that would be like cheating.
I'm still pondering what makes more sense:
- to keep my old history, or
- rebase to origin every now and then to easier spot the differences
between master and origin.
