Dear Git devs,

As compared to using Visual Studio 2022 or Visual Studio Code ..
Wondering if a bug somehow / somewhere ?
Other colleague devs observe the same ..

If I switch to the remote master branch then I get right content ..   but I should be able to do a new clone of master and hold locally.

This is reminiscent of cloning issues some folks on my team raised nearly a decade ago. git-gui uses a custom/unique do_clone function written in tcl, rather than native git-clone, so problem diagnosis is difficult and updates infrequent. My "cure" was to make git-gui use git-clone. I still have that patch, have rebased it (some conflicts) onto current git-gui master, and it still works in my very limited testing.

But, git-gui currently has no active maintainer, and Junio is now in a release cycle, so the list's concern is not on new topics like this. For both reasons, I'll hold onto the patch until the release cycle completes.
