Yes.  Git makes it all too easy here to create such annoying merge
commits, and if you don't have enough experience with Git you won't
even notice it.

But even if you do notice it, it can be pretty challenging to fix it
after the fact, or to avoid it before the fact.

It's not just that Git is a sharp tool here: in this instance, it makes
it easy to do the wrong thing, and hard to do the right thing.
