Unfortunately, that means the ff, nits and pushback tracking heads are going to get non-fast-forward updated.

I've fixed the issue and updated {pushback,nits}/{a,b} and ff.

Unfortunately, the new refs are not fast-forward-mergable. In the longer run, if volatile refs are an issue then maybe we just have to pass the bare commit IDs around for staging trees.

Other alternatives would be not have staging trees, but then you're going to have very messy histories with edits and little fixes scattered all around the place, and intermingled with numerous reverts. The former will make life harder for anyone who wants to backport fixes to an older release; both may make life _more_ miserable for anyone following along with out-of-tree work (e.g. WIP stuff, whatever).
