nitpicking, but shouldn't this be worded as "up to date" rather than "identical" ?

The reason is that identical gives the idea that the two branch happen to be on the same
commit wheras "up to date" gives the idea that there is a special relationship between
these two particular branches. We are not just listing all branches on the same
commit as us, we are actively telling you about this branch because it's interesting
to you.
