pull doc: correct outdated description of an example

Browse Source 
Since f269048754 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs,
2013-05-11), the underlying `git fetch` in `git pull <remote> <branch>`
updates the configured remote-tracking branch for <branch>.

However, an example in the 'Examples' section of the `git pull`
documentation still states that this is not the case.

Correct the description of this example.

This leaves a copy of `next` temporarily in FETCH_HEAD, but
does not update any remote-tracking branches. Using remote-tracking
branches, the same can be done by invoking fetch and merge:
