This would allow people to clone a repo, make it private, and still use Pull to get updates from the original repo.

Unfortunately this is not supported due to a limitation in GitHub API - it cannot create PRs not in the same fork network. Please look into alternatives like wei/git-sync which does not have such limitation.

I tried using Git Sync, but I get this error, on line 79 of "git-sync":
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com/': No such device or address
