Pidgin enlistenment not working
Step 1 of 3: Downloading source code history (Failed about 1 month ago.)
I'm using the git mirror which sometimes is recreated from scratch. I guess that's screwing up with ohloh.
Hi Felipe,
Our git tracker is built for incremental updates. If a repository is recreated or rebased, our system won't be able to handle this, and it will require manual intervention for a complete clean re-analysis.
If you have access to another source control system which doesn't have this behavior, that will be better for us.
In the meantime, I will schedule a clean download for Pidgin.
Thanks,
Robin
Can this manual process be triggered by users? it would be really useful.
Besides, git rebases happen all the time.
Clean recounts are very expensive for us, so we do not want the general public triggering these.
While git rebases do happen all the time on private repositories, they are rare (and rightfully so) on public distribution repositories. Because rebasing breaks pulls, once a head has been published to the world at large it should not be rebased.
They are not. Even on git.git they happen all the time.
Remember that branches are cheap in git, so people create temporary branches, or utility branches (pu in git.git).
And also remember that DSCMs don't need a 'public distribution repo'. Although there's probably 'the main guy' repo that is assumed as it.
