Also, just as an FYI, but these hourly backups (btrfs snapshots actually) are
done automatically. We snapshot the disk every hour (keeping 24h), and once a
day (keeping 7 days), and once a week (keeping 3 months). This is done as part
of the Github mirroring that I setup for our CI (to avoid clobbering Github
with git clone / git fetch requests and get us banned).
So, even though this shouldn’t happen (often … :) we hopefully have pretty good
backups available for emergencies like this.
I’m thinking we should ask the ASF Infra ops team to protect the release
branches at least. Protecting a branch means that it can not be deleted, or
force pushed to. We already have this on the master branch, and in addition, we
require PRs to push to to master. We should obviously not require PRs to push
to the release branches though, and it’s an optional setting.
