How about:
"Usually push and pull are to the same repository/branch that they were
originally added from. Add stores the repository/branch in .gittrees
which push and pull can now default to if not provided on the command

I think the patch was based on an older version of git-subtree before
"git fetch $there" support was added. Will need to update it.

They're inside now.
