Having said that, I do not particularly think the new behaviour is bad per-se.

It's just that the expectation you and I shared is the documented behaviour everywhere, and we would need to document the new behaviour. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
