I would not recommend unpull to be removed, its the opposite of pull and 
we like to have opposite commands.
The alias is currently there for just one reason, discoverability; the 
principle of people finding (new) things faster.
Note that for a group of people it would be bad for discoverability to 
remove unpull since thats what they expect.
