When you think git does not behave as you expect, please do not stop your
bug report with just "git does not work". "I tried to do X but it did not
work" is not much better, neither is "I tried to do X and git did Y, which

people who have worked on git have expected---otherwise, the behavior
would have been changed to match your expectation long time ago.
