You don't need to explain to me how it works. The problem is
not that it does not behave as advertised but that it works
in a way that is simply very short-sighted, and does not
allow to do things other VCSes make me take for granted.
(Discussions about that should probably go off-list.)

No, I expect it to atomically *check* whether the tree is up to date.
Simply so I can actually control what the next revision is going to be -
that it is not going to break tests etc. (I have to say that I did not
even know this particular trap before this thread.)
