You're right that it is a special case. We only have 5 repos which have a bare directory name (without the '.git' suffix): xf86-video-radeonhd, cairo-5c (Nickle), pycairo and py2cairo (dormant since 2012), and roadster (dormant since 2009), compared to 1,268 with the suffix. Of those, xf86-video-radeonhd is the only one which got migrated to GitLab, which I migrated as soon as it was brought to my attention, after manually renaming the repository since the migration scripts break if the git.fd.o repo does not have the suffix. I assume your next question is why it got quite uniquely created without the suffix in the first place. For that, you'd have to ask the person who created it: drwxrwsr-x 8 eich xorg 4.0K Mar 7 21:31 xf86-video-radeonhd.git As always, it's been an absolute pleasure helping you, and sitting in my hotel room dealing with this has certainly been a much better use of my holiday time than enjoying Tokyo. _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
