If you did:
git checkout master^0
git commit --allow-empty -m emp0
git commit --allow-empty -m emp1
tip=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
git reset --hard HEAD^
and then
git checkout $tip
it used to warn about "emp0" but because you are checking out "emp1",
which is a descendant of "emp0", nothing is lost and no lossage is
reported with the updated code.
Makes sense; thanks.
