Hi Michael,
thank you for your answer.
Strangely, I can't reproduce the error today. As I did quite a lot branching and merging yesterday (learning git), I can't remember the steps that led to the error.
And it doesn't have to be an error though - perhaps it was just my clouded perception due to the lots of branches.
But I will keep an eye on this and see if it happens again.
Sorry for bothering,
- benjamin
