Mmm. Then there's of course the fact that if you use git commands to change the branch ref (e.g. committing, resetting, and so on) you need to run assimilate to deconfuse StGit. But it'll tell you so.

So I guess the (or at least my) conclusion is that we ought to have an StGit User Manual where the user can learn these things, preferably with examples and pretty DAG graphs. Half a sentence doesn't buy us that much.
