Not the same, because as soon as your 'git pull' _can_ fast-foward, it will. You can't merge a set of changes from another branch that's a strict superset of yours in, without it fast-forwarding them.
I suppose you could take great care to ensure that the other branch is never in a position to be fast-forwarded onto yours, most simply just by making forced commits before you do a pull, but that's revolting.
