Hi,
Sorry if this is not the right address to report bugs. I'm following
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10728104/where-can-i-report-a-git-bug/10733251#10733251

Cheers

Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
> repository in branch A
git name-rev $(git rev-parse HEAD) --name-only
> returns A
git checkout B
git name-rev $(git rev-parse HEAD) --name-only



What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
It should return B

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
It returns A

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
git rev-parse does not seem to update. Same is happenning with git rev-parse @{-1}

Anything else you want to add:
git version 2.34.1

I recently migrated to ubuntu 22. In ubuntu 18 with previous git version is was working as expected.

Please review the rest of the bug report below.

LGTM.

VonC has amazing Git answers on SO, but I feel that this changelog-type
answer is *too much* for a procedure which is just (based on the bug
reports from the last month or so):

1. Run `git bugreport`
2. Edit the file by filling out the blanks and removing irrelevant stuff
   (follow the instructions)
3. Post the report as an inline plaintext email

So basically the sibling answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/70175922/1725151
