git will not merge anything into your local branch when it 
contains uncommitted changes. git pull ought to have complained about 
that. (And it sure does here.)

So commit your local changes to your local branch, then you can
synchronize with upstream using

git pull master-fgdata master

or

git fetch master-fgdata
git rebase remotes/master-fgdata/master

I prefer the latter as that keeps my local changes last in the commit 
graph.

I also recommend creating a named remote for the master repository.
git remote add master-fgdata git://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata.git

(You could name it origin to cut the ties to the bundle and make the 
repository behave more normal.)

Cheers,

Anders
