Perhaps I don't understand the distinction you are making. I have
pull.ff=ff set, and I get:

  $ git pull
  remote: Enumerating objects: 1, done.
  remote: Counting objects: 100% (1/1), done.
  remote: Total 1 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
  Receiving objects: 100% (1/1), done.
  From /home/peff/tmp/.
     a4f00e2..22a4151  master     -> origin/master
  fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.

Which sounds like the same thing, modulo the error message not being
nearly as helpful (which I would be happy to see rectified).

Is there some other difference you're thinking of?
