[v3,07/16] pull: display default warning only when non-ff

Commit Message

There's no need to display the annoying warning on every pull... only
the ones that are not fast-forward.

This requires the tests to pick another base, so the merge is not
fast-forward. And in the cases where --ff-only is specified add
test_must_fail (since now they are non-fast-forward).

+By default `git pull` will warn about these situations, however, most likely
+you would want to force a merge, which you can do with `git pull --no-rebase`.
+
 Then "`git pull`" will fetch and replay the changes from the remote
 `master` branch since it diverged from the local `master` (i.e., `E`)
 until its current commit (`C`) on top of `master` and record the
