The result is: Thanks; this unfortunately is a well-known issue, that once was even (supposed to be) a part of GSoC project but hasn't been solved. The latest mention of the same issue I think is https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqeg95aor6.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com/ which redirects to If you are interested, start here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/219505/focus=219524 but gmane web interface is not working and an equivalent is here: https://public-inbox.org/git/20130329195155.GA19994@sigill.intra.peff.net/
