That is precisely how it works.

You need to retrain your instincts :-)

As Mark pointed out, the difference between the two versions was "remove

working directory. There is no conflict to report.

In your original message you wrote:

I think what you have really learned is: warnings are issued for a
reason. Pay attention to them!
