I was surprised by how the contents of FETCH_HEAD are changing without me spawning any git processes that might change it. Am I missing something here? As far as i could remember, there wasn't any IDE running that might automatically spawn git commands especially in that work tree. Weird.

Another possibility is FETCH_HEAD is somehow a symlink (or the whole worktrees/$BUILD_WORKTREE is a symlink) and is accidentally shared with some other repos/worktrees.
