Your claims are false both about me not having had time to read messages (please provide evidence covering my private schedules otherwise) and the evidence I provided about the example by Russ[1]. I'll expand on the here slightly for your benefit: $ git clone https://salsa.debian.org/rra/tf5.git [...] $ apt-get source tf5 [...] $ rm -rf tf5/.git tf5-5.0beta8/.pc $ diff -Nur tf5 tf5-5.0beta8; echo $? 0 If one is really bored: $ (cd tf5; sha256sum $(find . -type f | sort) | sha256sum -) 8d7820471fb44382a0c752319906064a1276ff18873fb4730dec1319aaf7b459 - $ (cd tf5-5.0beta8; sha256sum $(find . -type f | sort) | sha256sum -) 8d7820471fb44382a0c752319906064a1276ff18873fb4730dec1319aaf7b459 - I will leave it as an exercise to you to compare the output and to reason about results of different ways to compare both trees. Please stop accusing others of "just asserting it, without evidence" when it is trivial to show you claim of "This isn't true" is false. I don't think your behavior is constructive in any way. > You have not done the detailed work on this topic that we have. Yeah, apparently not enough to even reason correctly about the trivial cases... It seems to lead to claims that can be demonstrated as being wrong trivially.
