Between the two, I have a vague preference towards "up-to-date", which
would suggest changing the pull command's output to read "Already
up-to-date". Personally I think that neither of them should include a
period in their output, but whichever we decide should be done so
consistently between the two.

Also, should this string be marked for translation?

Thanks,
