Ah, OK: for some reason, I thought "dirty" meant "not pristine" (and I guess
it does in some sense, but not here :-) ).

Maybe - or maybe I created it and I don't remember (so what's new?).
I guess I'll play whack-a-mole with it and see.

I used to have that problem, but I don't any more, and I don't remember
(so what's new?)  how it came about and/or I resolved it. Any ideas
about that? I may have just deleted the master branch and recreated it.
