I expected no failure and no-op since local is ahead of upstream.
Instead, `git pull`
fails because it thinks the branches have diverged.
I think this was fixed at 361cb523 (pull: --ff-only should make it a
noop when already-up-to-date, 2021-10-20); it was broken between Git
2.33 and Git 2.33.1, IIRC.
Thanks.
