First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it... Fast-forwarded master to 482db59aa2788737d9c6c0294a625bd3002d54c3.

i then switch to another branch, say 'kamailio_3.0', and it tells me:

jh@rautu:/usr/src/orig/sip-router$ eg switch kamailio_3.0 Switched to branch "kamailio_3.0" Your branch is behind the tracked remote branch 'origin/kamailio_3.0' by 1 commit, and can be fast-forwarded.

how can i do this 'fast-forwarding' without pulling again in this branch?

With basic git: git checkout kamailio_3.0; git pull --rebase origin kamailio_3.0 (in this case if you get the fast forward message --rebase is not really needed, but OTOH it does nut hurt and it's safer to always use it).

I'm not familiar with eg, but maybe another pull will do it.

If you want a single command that will fast-forward all your local remote tracking branches, then AFAIK there isn't one but you could try writing a script (but be carefully to check first if a branch can be fast forwarded and doesn't require some manual conflict fixes or a rebase).
