We have to patch up several tags post-conversion, which patches up their notes, but that happens after the full conversion is done. Notes are just 1 long linear branch, which ... well, is unfortunate. So essentially every update to the repo changes the last couple hundred of hashes for the commit notes objects/tree/DAG/linear train. They always need to get force-pushed upstream and you always have to re-fetch quite a bunch of them. This will all cease with the final transition, obviously. hth Uli _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
