Ah, yes, that's definitely one of the issues.....

Hmmmm....  it might be a bug -- it depends I guess on what it means to
"work" on the vendor branch.  In some respects such "work" is no
different than importing a new release where the changes were made
elsewhere, so in that case a new file should have the default branch set
on first commit, just as if it were imported....
