merging branches remotely with git?

[Jack Howarth]

    I am trying to do a local merge of the linus-kernel git and
the my-wireless-testing git. Is this possible? I have cloned both
locally with...

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/my-wireless-testing.git

I thought from the git documentation that I was supposed to be able to
create a merge automatically with...

git merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/my-wireless-testing.git

however this reports...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git - not something we can merge

Any advice on how this can be done would be appreciated.
                  Jack
