I am not sure if that is THE expected results, though (you wouldn't
have got this reaction if you said "I would expect to see").  

Usually, it is easier to read a message if it makes its primary
point first, before giving a parenthetical note.  I.e.  I would
expect that

	Already up to date (nothing to squash).

would be easier to understand to users.

Thanks.
