Hi PJ and Hannes,

try to run the last script that I posted, with and without a sleep 1
before the last commit:

git init
echo "aaa" >f1
git add f1
git commit -m A
git checkout --orphan sources
git commit -m A --allow-empty

and

git init
echo "aaa" >f1
git add f1
git commit -m A
git checkout --orphan sources
sleep 1
git commit -m A --allow-empty

In the first one, no new commit is created, and the "sources" branch
is not orphan (you can easily see it with the git gui).
In the second one, a new commit is created, and the "sources" branch
is orphan, as expected.
