Thanks for this info... I've reproduced the problem now, too. I'm not
sure what to do about it yet, but I can make it happen: that's the
first step toward a fix.
There should not be a need for an update step if you're snapped to
particular hash or non-tracking branch/tag, though, should there? So,
this seems like a contrived case to me.
In the real project where this is happening, what git branch are you
tracking that makes this a real problem...?
Thanks,
David
