The current version contains the sentence:

Further suppose that the other person already pushed changes leading to A back to the original repository you two obtained the original commit X.

Further suppose that the other person already pushed changes leading to A back to the original repository from which you two obtained the original commit X.

 The push done by the other person updated the branch that used to point at
 commit X to point at commit A.  It is a fast-forward.
