Thanks for the report @ImBIOS. I agree that a log message showing the correct update method would be expected behavior here. I'll discuss this with our engineering team so that the message can be improved.

In the meantime, if anyone would like to try to fix the message, feel free to submit a PR!

Some code pointers for implementing this:

• Message is set here: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools/blob/master/src/bin/firebase.ts#L134
• When downloaded via firebase-tools, the FIREPIT_VERSION env var will be present (ie https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools/blob/master/src/track.ts#L73)
• We should check for that env var and switch messages if it's there.

Thanks for reporting + suggesting this @ImBIOS!
