Git CLI

Just noticed this:

$ git pull
Already up to date.
$ git push
Everything up-to-date

The two messages covey the same information but use different punctuation and hyphenation. While not terribly important, this quirky inconsistency doesn't inspire confidence.

My environment:

git version 2.24.0
hub version 2.13.0

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the report.

Unfortunately, this has been caught before but remains for legacy
reasons.

According to 7560f547e6 (treewide: correct several "up-to-date" to "up
to date", 2017-08-23), it explicitly mentions in the commit message,
"Don't change plumbing (specifically send-pack.c, but transport.c (git
push) also has the same string)."

So as a result, we can't change the `git push` string to match. I don't
think it would make too much sense to change the `git pull` string to
match either since that would intentionally introduce the "up-to-date"
error that the above commit fixed.

Thanks,

Denton
