I have stumbled upon the following blog post via one of
the news aggegrators and wondered whether the behavior
is correct and expected or he's expecting something wrong
or doing something wrong.

I cannot see a wrong usage pattern from what he has written.

http://blog.teksol.info/2009/04/15/beware-of-gits-content-tracking.html

as the author hasn't posted here after a couple of days
I decided to take his question here for at least understanding
what behavior he is experiencing.
