It will publish the "shape of the history" of the repo, but not any meaningful data (all commits, trees, blobs etc. are replaced). Alternatively myself & probably some other regular contributors to git would be willing to look at that repo + reproduction recipe off the public ML, to see if we could reproduce the issue, if that sounds good to you contact me off-list. Or perhaps we can still figure out a reproduction for this... The YouTube video shows that you're using various options to git-fetch, including filters, refspecs etc. Does a plain "git fetch" reproduce this, and if not what's the option (try adding them one at a time & experiment) that needs to be added to trigger this? I somewhat suspect some --filter funny business, but that's just a hunch...
