git pull -v: up to date but isn't

I want to know if my branches are synced with the remote:

git pull -v
From ...
 = [up to date]      master     -> origin/master
 = [up to date]      release    -> origin/release

I read the above output like: OK, release branch is up to date.

But git diff release origin/release shows that there are differences.

Is the output of git pull -v correct?

git pull does two things: fetch and merge.

The above output ("up to date") means: The fetch is up to date. But attention: the merge was not done yet.

With git branch -av you get a better output:

git branch -av
  release                4fa0a21 [behind 6] changed version from 2014.10 to 2014.11 in setup.py
  remotes/origin/release 4011230 changed version from 2014.12 to 2014.13 in setup.py
