In other words, rather than burdening people with the task of constructing a mental picture of what you have done, you should show them as directly and precisely as possible; in this way, people can go about the business of discussing your issue much more quickly and, most importantly, PRECISELY.
Ah, I had intended the extremely tiny git repo I linked to to provide the info in the most concise way possible. The surprising behaviour happened at the final commit in the repo, which was made by 'git merge other'. I can email a list of commands to reproduce the issue later tonight if that would make anything clearer. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky
