Obviously this was a mistake on his side, but hey: everyone makes
mistakes. The real problem is to find this problem afterwards,
possibly weeks later, when you suddenly realize that a bug that you
had fixed suddenly reappears.
Bisect?
This is not the point: My colleague knew exactly which commit contained
the bugfix. The trouble was finding out why this bugfix disappeared even
though everything indicated that it was cleanly merged into the current
branch.
