After upgrade to 2.33.1, the behavior of `pull.ff=only` has changed in a way that breaks some workflows, notably the default used in VSCode. Example (specific repo doesn't matter) ``` $ git clone git@xxxxxxxxxx:kcarnold/util.git ... $ cd util $ echo "" > test $ git add test $ git commit -m "Test" $ git -c pull.ff=only pull fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting. $ git status On branch master Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit. (use "git push" to publish your local commits) ``` Previously this pull succeeded without error, which was as expected because no merge was necessary. VS Code users have reported this problem because that editor has a "sync" option that seems to run something like `git pull && git push`.
