Isn't this doing the opposite of what the comment is saying about
octopus merge, i.e. if branch->merge_nr > 1, call
advise_untracked_pull_before_push() which will advise 'git pull <remote>
<branch>'?

Ah yes. The logic is wrong for the octopus case. That's easy to fix, but
I'm considering ditching the matching entirely per my response to
Junio's concerns. I think it might do more harm then good.
