Some parts of the git history have unintentionally diverged from blead's history. This means that if you are looking at some parts of the history, git won't find the correct tags to describe the commits, which can be misleading. The divergence is not intentional, and does not represent an actual different history. It is instead the result of previous attempts at rewriting the tags, which was not done correctly. The only difference is in the author names or emails. They represent the exact same content. I would like to rewrite the tags and branch to fix this. The impacted tags are all very old, and none of them are for stable releases. The relevant tags are: GitLive-maint-5.004 GitLive-blead perl-5.004_05 perl-5.7.3 perl-5.9.0 perl-5.9.1 perl-5.9.2 perl-5.9.3 perl-5.9.4 perl-5.9.5 timinator timinatorII Also the branch: maint-5.004 Given the age of these, and that they have previously been rewritten, I don't expect that this will cause anyone any problems. I've prepared a script to do the relevant rewrites: https://github.com/haarg/perl-fix-history Does anyone object to these changes being made?Thread Next
