> Of course youre up to date with what you last fetched - that is _always_ the case.
But that is not what this message is about. It's confusingly worded, as many people agree, but what it says is that your local ref "main" points to the same commit as your local ref "origin/main." It says nothing about "main" on the other computer/server.
And it is not the case (i.e. you are not up to date with origin/main), for example, when you have committed to main but haven't pushed. It is also not the case when you have fetched but not merged.
