+
+lots of `git annex init` in new git repos. Also a good number of clones AFAIK. FWIW: we used to do more clones instead of just recreating new repos per test, but then we switched to just creating a new repo. We still have a good number though of cloning.
+
+> Are they also doing lots of merges or switching between branches?
+
+Not that many AFAIK.
