*sigh* The cat is out of the bag. That commit was no accident; it was a plot by me to inflate my openhub stats. ;-) Seriously, though, my apologies to those contributors underrepresented in consequence of that commit. > I wonder if this problem affects other projects as well. It would also affect projects that replace trunk with a branch, with «svnmucc rm trunk cp HEAD branches/2.0 trunk» (or, if the project devs are unaware of svnmucc, by doing the same thing in two commits). I would say that yes, dropping them a line to the effect of "You don't handle certain histories correctly" would be worthwhile. Do we have a contact at ohloh/openhub/blackduck? (I assume I ought to volunteer for writing that email, so I do.) Daniel
