[PATCH 4/5] pull: abort if --ff-only is given and fast-forwarding is impossible

<12ee3b140b4e1170bc725753cda56a4426823bdc.1626316849.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1047.git.git.1626316849.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Alex Henrie <alexhenrie24@gmail.com>

The warning about pulling without specifying how to reconcile divergent branches says that after setting pull.rebase to true, --ff-only can still be passed on the command line to require a fast-forward. Make that actually work.
