PS: I've restored them with jj new 32a1908f7db4 just curious why this happened and how to avoid it.

Jujutsu would abandon those pushed commits if, when importing branches from git before each command, the commits became unreachable because all branches containing them were deleted.

That means the alter-session and the remote tracking branch were not in git anymore when you ran jj.

We need to figure out how those branches would have been removed from git, or never written to it. These questions are based on issues others have had in the past.

• Maybe concurrent changes happened and the branches got lost somehow.

  • Do you use the watchman snapshot trigger?
  • Do you use a third party jj-aware tool like VisualJJ, jjk, etc.?

• Was the remote branch deleted from the remote? If so, then maybe you have an IDE or something periodically doing git fetch.

• Do you have an unusual refspec configured for that remote in .git/config? There at least used to be weird issues if you changed the refspec from the default.
