Here for your amusement is a way to get around this problem:
if [ "`git pull`" == "`git pull`" ]
then
echo Up to date
else
make update
fi
You pay double the cost every time you use it but if they ever *do*
change the message, it's not going to break. But of course, if the shell
ever optimizes the second git pull away, you are back at square one...
