My view is that we shouldn't make assumptions about what is going to
happen in the future. Most of the UI design warts of Git come
precisely from the fact that somebody in the past did not think
something in the future would happen, and when it does the excuse to
not do what's sensible in the UI is "it's too late now".

I would vote for whatever is more flexible to whatever happens in the
future, not something that seems to make sense now, but adds yet more
inertia and later on becomes yet another wart in the list of "oh, if
only we had considered that back in 2023".

Cheers.
