I frequently work on feature work based off development and, because I'm that good, :) I only occasionally create hotfixes. My local copy of master is frequently many commits behind origin master. Very bad things happen when I create a hotfix using git-flow hotfix start and it creates a branch off local master that is far behind what is on production.

Not sure if this is what the fetch switch does, but it seems like it really should be the default behavior to pull origin/master before creating the hotfix branch.
