 |This is a quirk of the conversion. We have to patch up several tags
 |post-conversion, which patches up their notes, but that happens after the
 |full conversion is done. Notes are just 1 long linear branch, which ...
 |well, is unfortunate. So essentially every update to the repo changes the
 |last couple hundred of hashes for the commit notes objects/tree/DAG/linear
 |train. They always need to get force-pushed upstream and you always have to
 |re-fetch quite a bunch of them.

I was astonished to see third-to-last commit on my notes is from
Dag-Erling Smørgrav "+svn path=/vendor-crypto/openssh/5.8p2/;
revision=221485; tag=vendor/openssh/5.8p2".

 |This will all cease with the final transition, obviously.

I guess they will simply vanish and i could remove the reference
from my config already today?
