Yeah, when nothing is shown but the given range is not empty, it would not be too annoying to give an advice message. On the other hand, I do not think it is a good idea to say anything extra when the user gave a range "trunk..mytopic" that has repeated back-merges from trunk into mytopic, to format what s/he worked on the mytopic branch. They _expect_ these back-merges to be ignored, and it would be purely an unwanted noise. Thanks.
