As far as I know, none. 'git pull' is basically an alias for 'git
fetch; git merge'. Many git users never use pull and always fetch
separately for more control.
The reason it puts you into an intermediate merge state is in order to
not screw you. If you run 'git status' you can see the current state of
your local branch.

Pushing merges your local branch with the remote branch (Savannah). 'svn
commit' for git would be 'git commit && git push'.
Take a look at this page[1] if you know svn, it lists the analogous
commands.

I don't use vc.el, but from some quick testing it appears it only
commits. You have to push separately.
Many people, myself included, use Magit[2] to interact with git through
emacs. It will simplify your life. There is a package in MELPA if you
are interested.
