I will not... it's time to sleep where I am! And I am just a user of git and you are a developer, which makes me think that you might know much better. But the exchange was insightful, thanks.

Rather, I'll turn again the question...

Let us assume that I am working on branch B and that my worktree is based on commit XYZ. Let's also assume that someone pushes behind my shoulders and moves the tip of B (or even deletes B alltogether) either in one or in multiple pushes. Is there an easy way so that I can now find out at what commit (XYZ) I was before the push(es)? That would already make me quite satisfied, because with this I can write wrappers or aliases that can check the HEAD against that commit on every status/commit operation and warn the user just in case.
