Hi Michael,

I used the script from Saksham (slightly modified to not depend on any Git configuration) and could not reproduce either with Git built from the same commit as you. Maybe some setting in your ~/.gitconfig is at play ?

For the record, my edited version of the reproducer:

--- 8< --- #!/bin/sh

export PATH="/path/to/built/git/bin-wrappers:$PATH" export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME=J export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=j@l.com export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME=J export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL=j@l.com export HOME=

git --version --build-options

rm -rf sample mkdir sample cd sample git init echo -e "a\nb\nc\n" > test git add . git commit -m "abc"

git branch b1 git switch b1

echo -e "b\na\nc" > test git add . git commit -m "bac"

git switch master git branch b2 git switch b2

echo -e "b\nc\na" > test git add . git commit -m "bca"

git switch master echo "----- Merging b1 -----" git merge b1 cat test echo "----- Merging b2 -----" git merge b2 echo "----- Content of test -----" cat test --- 8< ---

Running it ends with this output:

----- Merging b1 -----
Updating 5e00de3..02910cf
