On branch v4.0
Your branch and 'origin/v4.0' have diverged,
and have 2 and 29 different commits each, respectively.
  (use "git pull" to merge the remote branch into yours)

  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

	modified:   .test/a

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
$ git log -- .test
