The current GitHub mirror is missing a bunch of merge metadata for
many commits to contrib software. This poses no issue for while the
canonical repository is Subversion and contrib software updates are
done there, but would cause grief for future contrib updates after the
git migration is complete.

There are still a few issues in cgit-beta left to resolve, so the
hashes there will still change before the cutover.
