If you have branches A that forked from B that in turn forked from C, and
if after updating C you want to and can successfully update both B and A
by fast-forwarding, that would only mean that neither A nor B had their
own change since they were forked from their upstream, regardless of local
or remote.

What use do these empty branches have in the first place?
