I have seen issue in dist-git that I do no understand. It may innocent, but false track of some attack. I would like to find explanation for this.

It is divergent rawhide branches of rust-future-locks. See:

How I find it:

For the SPDX work I have on my workstation full clone of almost all dist-git so I can periodically check if License tag in SPEC file is in Callaway or SPDX format. Or if there is some other issue in the SPDX formula. Every few days (max two weeks) I do git pull in every dist-git repo I track.

Today I find this error in the log (note that I usually do not read log of these git-pull, so it may be older issue]:

Error pulling 'rust-futures-locks'

And it was not an error of my script. When I cd to that git-repo, there were indeed divergent rawhide branch (see picture above).

I understand that it rarely may happen when we are removing tarball that has files with patents or wrong license. But I was unable to find any issue tracking this. Nor any comment in git commits.

I see similar situation in past months, but I was lazy to snapshot the data. This time I did it.

You can investigate it in https://github.com/xsuchy/rust-futures-locks.
There are two branches:
* rawhide - this is what is rawhide right now in Fedora's dist-git
* old-rawhide - this is what I had as a rawhide on dist. I.e. what was rawhide in Fedora's dist-git few days/weeks ago.

The two branches are divergent and old-rawhide cannot be fast forwarded to rawhide.

The content seems to be the same.
