Hi all,

I noticed that git pull reports "Already up to date." but git push reports "Everything up-to-date". (I'm using git 2.20.1, the latest in the Ubuntu repos.) Just for a consistent user experience, would it be worth standardizing on:

Hyphenation (up-to-date vs up to date)? Periods at the end of one-sentence messages? Colloquialisms and tone of voice? "Already up to date." sounds like a terse error message but "Everything up-to-date" sounds like a chatty friend.

Maybe none of this is worth the effort, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.
