Package: git-remote-gcrypt
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: important

Here's a secnario -

I have repo A and repo B.  Both have the same git-remote-gcrypt
repository named origin, and both begin with the same HEAD.

Now, make a commit on repo A and push it.  Make a different commit
on repo B and run git push.

The expected result here is an error, and the usual way to handle
it would be to do a git pull followed by another push attempt.

Unfortunately, with git-remote-gcrypt, the push from repo B
silently clobbers the most recent commit made on repo A.  A
subsequent pull from repo B will not pull down the changes
from repo A.

All is not *completely* lost; on repo A, a subsequent pull will
offer to merge the changes from repo B.

This is rather unfortunate for both collaboration with a workgroup
or even sharing files between multiple devices of one's own.
