I should note that this occurs with Git v2.26.2 on x86_64 architecture with kernel 5.6.4 -- so it doesn't appear to be due to an outdated build. I was not able to find any previous bug report in the mailing list, nor have I tested this with previous versions of Git to determine whether it is a regression or a bug that has existed since the flag was introduced. -- Ben Denhartog ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
