Hi all,
Something I've seen a few times of late (although I doubt that's any
indication that the code has changed in Git) is the reporting of
branch-X being uptodate with origin/branch-X when it isn't.
When does git check to see if branch-X has a remote tracking branch
and that it has changes on it? Only, the output below is misleading:
% git checkout master
Switched to branch 'master'
Your branch is up-to-date with 'fvwmorg/master'.
[fvwm-cvs-to-git/docs]{10345}[0][master] % git pull
remote: Counting objects: 26, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (12/12), done.
remote: Total 26 (delta 18), reused 22 (delta 14), pack-reused 0
Unpacking objects: 100% (26/26), done.

4f0c7ec..36cc898 ta/git-docs -> fvwmorg/ta/git-docs
Updating c029868..36cc898
Fast-forward
[...]
Clearly, it's obvious that "Your branch is up-to-date with
'fvwmorg/master'." is misleading. Note that in this case, there's no
passwords or other hindrances to Git being able to work out that a
branch is behind another.
Any light that can be shed on this, is much appreciated!
Kindly,
Thomas Adam
