Relatively recent clone? Sounds like that would screw customers up pretty bad if they don't realise the problem.

If they went to a second site, having synchronous commit to both sites is how it should be done, no? The extra latency on infrequent git pushes is far less an inconvenience than the possibility of grabbing the wrong code.

I think there'd be a variety of ways to have the system to fail until the customer made some kind of adjustment that indicated they grokked that there was a failure (like say... changing your upstream).
