Yep, that's the big issue. I track Junio's "next" branch pretty
closely but don't track the git-gui repository at all, so it wasn't
until Junio pulled from you, and after I pulled from Junio, that I
noticed the problem. So, in the longer run, asking Junio to pull more
often -- and earlier -- may be a good way forward.
