I guess the word "link" has too many meanings. :p

So a fork is really a working copy of the master repository, and the code that the user 
will typically edit is in turn a working copy of this.  And "commit" and "push" in Git 
terms basically mean to commit to the local fork and to commit the fork to the master repo 
respectively.

So if "pull" means to update one's fork, what is a "pull request" requesting exactly?
