Hey Junio,
I just saw this message when switching branches:

-- snip -- Switched to branch "fiji" Your branch is behind the tracked remote branch 'origin/fiji' by 9 commits, and can be fast-forwarded. -- snap --

It really helped a lot (I would have tested the old version, and would not have been able to reproduce the bug I have been told about).

So this really saved me some frustrating hours.

Thanks, Dscho
