Yes, I agree it's definitely worth trying. Many thanks for pushing this. I'm not sure if it's cleaner to patch away all the related functions (strip_lfs() and has_large_files_conflict()) like you do, or just stop calling them. Your approach is probably safer as it makes sure nobody else uses them. You might want to stick in a comment pointing to the Debian bug in the patched versions, though, so that anybody reading through the code in the binary package is aware that we're patching it. A note about this on the upstream list would also be appropriate IMO. The discussion there didn't really get far but I think other distributions are hitting this too. (What's Fedora doing BTW? I think they're shipping with 5.14 now.) -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
