you should follow section "pulling new changes upstream branch ":

a git pull fetch + merge.

right-click on project in package explorer , select team > pull or right-click on repository in git repositories view , select pull pull new changes upstream branch local branch tracking.

the section "fetch , pull" of egit tutorial says much:

when cloning remote repositories, git creates copies of branches local branches , remote branches.
fetch operation update remote branches only.
update local branches well, have perform merge operation after fetching.
