Actually, you don't need to be insane to have multiple commits pointing
at the same root tree. It is actually very easy:
- git clone
- do some stuff on your master branch and commit
- send your changes upstream
- upstream applies as is
- git pull

You now have everything merged, and the last commit on your master branch,
while being a different commit object due to its parenting, has the same
root tree as the tip of the remote branch.
