Huh that's a dangerous setting, I guess a dim patch to check for this and
very loudly complain would be good? Care to type that up? It's no big
deal because strange git settings for dim is pretty much a game of
whack-a-mole, but we should tackle them when they pop up.

Build testing before pushing should be done, not the other way round :-)

Also this is pretty much why we want gitlab CI and real branches.
