Dear diary, on Tue, Apr 19, 2005 at 09:02:51AM CEST, I got a letter where Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> told me that...

This means nothing more than you pulled your tracked branch for the first time, but before you already had the latest copy; this wouldn't have happened with subsequent pulls, and it was fixed some time ago - it would be really nice if you could try the new pull and merge.

It is harmless anyway. It got confused and tried to do "zero-length fast forward", which git diff complained about, but it couldn't do any harm (I hope).
