Hi Patrick,
Michele, it seems like you have already invested some time into reproducing the issue. Can this maybe be put into a proper test case that directly exercises your issues (that is, the swapped entries and such)?
Sure. The test below performs an incremental rewrite in two runs: the second run must attach the new commit to the parent rewritten by the first run, and the saved state must contain "original:rewritten" entries. Without the fix the new commit is attached to the original parent, and the test fails at test_cmp_rev. I checked it against master (a018953): it fails without the fix and passes with it, and the other tests of t7003 still pass. It also passes with v2.49.1, the last version before the regression. Grant, feel free to squash it into your patch.
