poll: when you see this message in `git status`:

”Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main’.”

do you know that your branch may not actually be up to date with the `main` branch on the remote?

(i've been wondering if there's a world where it's possible to convince the folks who make git to change that message to add “... as of 5 minutes/3 days/6 years ago”, but I think it might be hard to implement)

@b0rk Especially that you can manually manipulate the remote ref, and then there's no way of telling what that means.
