Anonymous commiter

Normally I'd be grateful for anonymous commits to the repository of my project. Not in this case though because there was no anonymous commit.

As you can see here (https://www.ohloh.net/p/galactic-fall/contributors/26051124139357) there was a contribution by somebody.

Compare these two lists:

The anonymous commit was performed by me as you can see comparing the lists. Nevertheless name and message of the commit are empty and additionally the time is dead wrong. I don't know how you extract the time information from the log but this seems way off. Out of curiosity: what timezone information do you guess?

Could you have a look into this?

Thanks for your time.

Hagen.

Any update or ideas on this? Forgive me, if I am bothering. I just want to understand what might be wrong with the subversion repository setup.

Maybe this could be fixed with a complete re-checkout of the repository from revision 1?

Btw: On those two lists the error can be seen on the first pages respectively. :)

Thanks again,

Hagen.

Hi Hagen,

Sorry, I lost your post in the shuffle of all the things going on around here.

I suspect that the anonymous commit without a comment was caused by a bug on our system that briefly existed around the time of this commit. I have started a fresh import of the repository, and I think this will clear up the problem. If not, I'll take a deeper look.

The time zone is included in the Subversion log and we should be getting it right in all cases. We seem to have it correct for the recent commits, at least. I'll take another review after the fresh import completes to make sure there isn't a bug lurking here.

Thanks,
Robin

Hey Robin, thanks for your reply.

Ohloh states that the enlistment has been updated 3 hours ago now. (https://www.ohloh.net/p/galactic-fall/enlistments) The anonymous commiter has not vanished though. Or can it vanish at all?

Any other thoughts on this?

Thanks for your time,

Hagen.

Hi there.

Either as a reminder or as a bug report: The anonymous commit has not been removed from the project although the project has been updated at least twice in the past few days.

Thanks,

Hagen.

Hi!? :)

Any updates on this? I know it's no biggy but I won't stop nagging until you tell me to. :P

Thanks for your time.

Hi Hagen,

Please accept my apologies for this long-delayed response.

It looks like the metadata for this commit was corrupted during our initial download of the repository. To fix it, I need to make a new, clean mirror.

I've started a fresh download of the repository, and it's running now. I'll keep an eye on it today to make sure it goes through.

Thanks,
Robin
