I didn't say it is wrong to record a tree with a single file
(allow-ref) in a commit that is pointed by the ci-config ref.
I would have expected you to create such a commit in an otherwise
empty repository, and push into your fork of Git at GitHub. That
way, you won't have to checkout and/or refresh the index all of the
3800+ files.

That does not change anything, as abuse of your primary repository
is what offends me.
