Recently I've been the most active contributor to Braid (https://github.com/cristibalan/braid/), and I only learned about this today when I stumbled on news about a similar change to the Linux kernel and immediately wondered if git was doing the same thing. I filed an issue (t https://github.com/cristibalan/braid/issues/87) and will develop a fix when I have time. Matt
