Yep, that's the big issue. I track Junio's "next" branch pretty closely but don't track the git-gui repository at all, so it wasn't until Junio pulled from you, and after I pulled from Junio, that I noticed the problem. So, in the longer run, asking Junio to pull more often -- and earlier -- may be a good way forward.
