Assuming only one kind of breakage and try to break exactly that thing does not prove much.

I'll keep this short as I am supposed to be off officially.

With pulling without choosing between rebase/merge, the old code had one behaviour wrt the message---it always advised, whether the pull was ff or not.

The new code has two behaviour wrt this aspect. It behaves differently when the pull is ff or non-ff. That would double the possibility that needs to be tested if we wanted to keep covering the original set of conditions *and* cover all new possibilities.

I am saying that you should keep the original ones, and add new ones to cover the new cases if that matters. Otherwise the conditions under which the original tests were checking would no longer be tested.

This used to make sure an attempt to rebase c1 onto c0, which can be fast-forwarded, would work fine, even though it used to give warning. We should keep testing the same condition. The expectation of seeing the warning is what must be changed, not the test condition (i.e. rebasing c1 onto c2 instead of c0)---you are no longer making sure that c1 can be rebased onto c0 cleanly.
