Yes, it may make sense to repeat https://public-inbox.org/git/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.1901312310280.41@tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet/ to verify we're still in a good state, and maybe even try to figure out why split-index is weird. However, more important is the handling of empty commits (both start-empty and become-empty) and trying to bring some consistency there or at least implementing more options for the interactive backend and figuring out which empty-handling options should be the default for which sets of flags. It's kind of a mess.
