Still behind the origin after git pull

I have a cloned repository which is now behind origin by X commits. git pull looks like it works fine, compressing, receiving etc. But when I try git status after git pull there's a message that I'm still behind. What could be the cause of this problem?

That's a message after git status :

On branch release/xxxx
Your branch is behind 'origin/release/xxxx' by 351 commits, and can be fast-forwarded.
  (use "git pull" to update your local branch)
nothing to commit, working tree clean`

just do git pull origin master this will pull changes from the origin remote, master branch and merge them to the local checked-out branch.

Pull with branch name:

$ git pull origin release/xxxx

Note: you are running git pull origin/release/xxxx (give space instead '/' after origin)

Instead of running simply git pull, pull a specific branch:

git pull origin release/xxxx
