Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue. What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) cd '/'; cd '/'; rm --force --recursive -- './test_git2'; mkdir "$_"; cd "$_"; mkdir --parents -- './server' './client'; git -C './server' init --bare './repo.git' branch_default_path="$(git -C './server/repo.git' symbolic-ref HEAD)" branch_default_name="${branch_default_path#'refs/heads/'}" git --git-dir='./server/repo.git' --work-tree='.' commit --allow-empty -m "$((++number))" git --git-dir='./server/repo.git' --work-tree='.' checkout -b branch1 git -C './client' init './repo' git --git-dir='./server/repo.git' --work-tree='.' commit --allow-empty -m "$((++number))" git -C './client/repo' fetch 'file://'"$(realpath './server/repo.git')" "$branch_default_name" 'branch1' cat './client/repo/.git/FETCH_HEAD' git -C './client/repo' log --all git -C './client/repo' log --all FETCH_HEAD awk 'BEGIN { ORS = "\0"; } { print $1; }' <'./client/repo/.git/FETCH_HEAD' | xargs --null git -C './client/repo' log --all git --git-dir='./server/repo.git' --work-tree='.' commit --allow-empty -m "$((++number))" git -C './client/repo' fetch 'file://'"$(realpath './server/repo.git')" 'branch1' "$branch_default_name" cat './client/repo/.git/FETCH_HEAD' git -C './client/repo' log --all git -C './client/repo' log --all FETCH_HEAD awk 'BEGIN { ORS = "\0"; } { print $1; }' <'./client/repo/.git/FETCH_HEAD' | xargs --null git -C './client/repo' log --all What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) `git -C './client/repo' log --all FETCH_HEAD` logs all commits. What happened instead? (Actual behavior) `git -C './client/repo' log --all FETCH_HEAD` logs $GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH when $GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH is listed first in `git fetch`, logs branch1 when branch1 is listed first in `git fetch`. What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? Anything else you want to add: Please review the rest of the bug report below. You can delete any lines you don't wish to share.
