this could be addressed by checking the timestamp on .git/refs/remotes/upstream/master and warning if it is very old |

I ran into a similar issue where |

@RickRum should be pretty easy, just call the same warning method for both build steps maybe it should be used for all build steps? |

force "HEAD" for non-CI and `git_upstream_merge_base` for CI environment When rust-lang/rust is configured as remote, some of the git logic (for tracking changed files) that uses get_closest_merge_commit starts to produce annoying results as the upstream branch becomes outdated quickly (since it isn't updated with git pull). We can rely on HEAD for non-CI environments as we specifically treat bors commits as merge commits, which also exist on upstream. As for CI environments, we should use `git_upstream_merge_base` to correctly track modified files as bors commits may be in `HEAD` but not yet on the upstream remote. This is also an alternative fix for rust-lang#129528 since rust-lang#131331 reverts the previous fix attempts.

I have my master branch set up to track the master branch of my fork (mainly because i don't want to accidentally pull in every git tag into my shallow clone), so
upstream/masterdoesn't updated when i rungit pull(presumably theupstreamremote was created by./x setup? i don't remember creating it, and lots of code needs it (or another branch pointing to this repo) to work).as it turns out,
./x fmtuses the state ofupstream/masterto determine if a file has been modified. so instead of it formatting every file that i modified, it formats every file anyone has modified in the last few months.at no point did anything warn me that i need to be updating a remote i didn't add. it should probably do that.
