Package: github-backup
Version: 1.20170301-2
github-backup doesn't back up the list of watchers; instead it backs up
stargazers twice:
$ git clone --quiet https://github.com/jwilk/anorack
$ cd anorack/
$ github-backup --no-forks
Gathering metadata for https://github.com/jwilk/anorack.git ...
$ git checkout github
Switched to branch 'github'
$ md5sum */stargazers */watchers
1d3223ccef24cde1b770094ec1a3b884 jwilk_anorack/stargazers
1d3223ccef24cde1b770094ec1a3b884 jwilk_anorack/watchers
I guess this is because it uses the /repos/:owner/:repo/watchers method,
which for legacy reasons[0] lists users starring the repository.
It should use /repos/:owner/:repo/subscribers instead.
