Hi Stefan, Emacs users,

I filed bug#59064. Actually the problem only exists with
*detached* linked worktrees, linked to a main worktree.
Matt Armstrong found commit 307ad210040 which introduces the
problem. The commit in question was part of Philip
Kaludercic's work to solve Bug#57400, a feature-request for
a vc- command to send patches. He changed
`vc-working-revision' to resolve a hex ID to a symbolic
revision if possible. This will likely be reverted.
As a side-note: I tried to find the offending commit via git
bisect but this hit on the wrong commit
(44ad42240069d8d82772b0c0ef5ec93c2566ca7e).

Thanks for the info.
Ciao; Gregor
