andrei,

in svn, when i'm at a directory and do 'svn update', it updates that
directory and its sub-directories.

it is hard for me to remember all those arguments that you suggest in
above.  so i thought that it would be nice if i had a shell script

git_pull

that would do the same thing as what 'svn update' does.  how would that
shell script look like or is it impossible to write one?

a bash alias for 'git pull' would even be better, but i think bash sucks
big time and does not allow aliases with argument.
