If I understand right, you typed "sivaraam" once, then the network lagged, then you typed "sivaraam" again. That isn't really something that Git can fix reliably. Reading those characters and echoing them back to the terminal is handled by your terminal driver (and potentially other things like ssh). Git may have received "sivaraamsivaraam" all at once, depending on where the lag is. -Peff
