Unfortunately that's not true. In repo_b your ref for origin/master
has not moved. It has remotely (meaning refs/heads/master in repo_a
has moved), but git status is not hitting the remote to find out; it
only looks at the local state. To see what I mean, run git fetch in
repo_b. Once you do that, you'll see that git status correctly reports
you're behind.
