Git no longer has a default strategy for reconciling divergent branches, because there's no way for Git to know which strategy is appropriate in any particular situation. The initially proposed version of commit 031e2f7ae195069d00d21cde906fce5b0318dbdd, "pull: abort by default when fast-forwarding is not possible", dropped this phrase from the message. It appears that leaving it in the message in the final version of the patch was accidental.
