Yes, that's what happened.  Quite normal.

Being useless doesn't mean harmful.  (I do notice that part, but I'm
used to leaving it there.)  Rejecting a push is an annoyance I'd
rather do without.  Moreover, that line is a record of the fact that
there was a conflict, which might be useful one day.

So how about removing that particular reason for rejecting a push?

Thanks.
