Except it wasn't me who directly saw those problems. It was somebody else
on #git (back when I was there). That was a while ago. That's the reason
I don't exactly remember what exactly it did (possibly false modifications
causing some commands (merge/rebase) to abort?).

Hmm. I should test what exactly happens (including with older git versions
to see if those problems have (possibly unintentionally) got fixed).
