My coworker was trying to fedup 19 -> 20 and it was failing
because .treeinfo
wasn’t in our local mirror. I thought that odd since I had just corrected our
mirroring setup a few weeks back for another coworker for the same reason.
(It’s very unfortunate that this file was “hidden” because I suspect many a
mirror exclude all hidden files for the reason I had done so, namely to avoid
pulling an upstream mirror’s temporary files.)
Anyway, we checked a few upstream mirrors (e.g.,
kernel.org) and the file isn’t
there. Did something happen at the top?
