Hello again,

Where did we wind up concerning the "Pulling without specifying how to reconcile divergent branches" warning? Last I checked, there was consensus that Git shouldn't allow non-fast-forward pulls by default, but there was disagreement over how to refactor the code to make that happen. However, since the warning now only appears if the pull would not be a fast-forward, it seems to me that we could simply change it from a warning to an error after a few more releases and update the tests. Does that sound reasonable, or do people still want to see more architectural changes first?
