The illustration I gave in the message you are responding to was
made in the context of patch 2/3; with patch 3/3 where can_ff
exists, it would not become like what you gave above.  It should
instead become

	if (rebase_unspecified && !opt_ff && !can_ff) {
		if (opt_verbosity >= 0 && advice_pull_non_ff)
			show_advice_pull_non_ff();
		die("not a fast-forward; must merge or rebase");
	}

i.e. when we can fast-forward, we do not trigger the "you must
specify rebase/merge" message, and we do not trigger the "not a
fast-forward" error.
