title: Why does github show me "Your recently pushed branches"?
body: <p>I fast-forwarded a couple of development branches to be up-to-date with master, and pushed them to a private repository. The private repo is owned by the client's github account and I am a collaborator.</p>
  
  <p>Now, github shows me two links under "Your recently pushed branches:", each containing "Pull request" and "Compare". When I click on "Pull request" out of curiosity, it shows me:
  <code>Oops! master  is already up-to-date with feature  Try a different branch?</code>. It's the same story for any other branch because they are all fast-forward updated. So what is the point of these links?</p>
