Running git 2.40.1 with HEAD -> master, origin/main, origin/HEAD, origin/master, main with initial commit on main does not show all the objects from master ! [main] Initial commit * [master] Initial commit ! [origin/master] Initial commit --- +*+ [main] Initial commit the chunk of objects are on master and not main, and yet it shows nothing once checking out to master. the git-clone operation is not consistent either. It's a disaster. One would think that by now with the more developed work put on to git, it'd be safe to assume the more sense there's on newer versions. But no. This is the opposite actually. Now. If by any chance the git-branch operation were to return: main * master after git-clone, then objects are indeed in place. That is. On master but not if git-branch returns main * master origin/master -- Our documentation manager was showing her 2 year old son around the office. He was introduced to me, at which time he pointed out that we were both holding bags of popcorn. We were both holding bottles of juice. But only *he* had a lollipop. He asked his mother, "Why doesn't HE have a lollipop?" Her reply: "He can have a lollipop any time he wants to. That's what it means to be a programmer."
