Message-ID
<pull.934.v2.git.1619047347605.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To

From: Josh Soref <jsoref@gmail.com>

Usually, it is easier to read a message if it makes its primary point first, before giving a parenthetical note.

Before: ` (nothing to squash)Already up to date. `

After: `Already up to date (nothing to squash). `

    git-merge: move space to between strings
    
    GitHub Actions show things like:
    
     * branch                  master     -> FETCH_HEAD
     (nothing to squash)Already up to date.
    
    
    Usually, it is easier to read a message if it makes its primary point
    first, before giving a parenthetical note.
    
    The expected results are:
    
     * branch                  master     -> FETCH_HEAD
    Already up to date (nothing to squash).
    
    
    This commit should change that. Other than breaking all the
    localizations, and anyone who actively parses the output, this shouldn't
    have much impact.
    
    Changes since v1:
    
     * finish_up_to_date now takes a message with a %s for the parenthetical
       and a trailing \n to address feedback from Junio C Hamano
