I had several workspaces that weren't updated ... which by previous experience should *all* have done an extra update. I did the pull with the GIT_DEBUG on a few of them, and the bogus one didn't happen. This seemed odd to me so the next time I tried without the GIT_DEBUG thing ... and got the bogus pull with "no common commits". This was unfortunately *after* I deleted tarballs of the previous workspaces, so that exact experiment can't be reproduced. Those were, however, "newer" workspaces -- probably created last summer, rather than a few years ago. > I think that there's a dependance on how your current state and > the new state happen to line up. The workspace in the tarball I can send you doesn't have any issues with reproducibility ... now. - Dave
