Don't get me wrong, I neither want that nor intended this result. This happened in the test suite of git-spindle which does commands similar to what I showed as reproducer now and I just wondered what is happening. Imho a simple push should not be able to produce an unusable state and I think this was not the case in the past as the tests used to work. But this could also be caused by changes in the used fixture repo. Am Mo., 31.
