It looks like public-inbox has some challenges when importing some questionable emails. The import of lkml has resulted in several commits with bad dates that git fsck complains about. I have previously reported this to Konstantin Ryabitsev who maintains kernel.org but since I have not seen any discussion of this I thought I should report it directly here as well.
At a practical level these errors initially preventing me from cloning the repos as in .gitconfig I had: > [transfer] > fsckobjects = true > [fetch] > fsckobjects = true > [receive] > fsckobjects = true Beyond the cloning issue while I don't expect public-inbox to fix the emails themselves it should be able to detect and prevent creating buggy commits. Importing a large repo like linux-kernel seems like a good test case for finding these kinds of issues. git fsck on lkml/git/0.git reports: > Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done. > warning in commit 59173dc1fe67b113ace4ce83e7f522414b3e0404: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit ff22aaff22eb4479e49e93f697e385f76db51c55: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit 609b744909693f5f00aff5ed9928beeeee9ded2e: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit 084572141db8e0d879428afb278bd338f2dbb053: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit 789d204de27cd12c6da693d903390a241a1a4bca: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit 0d9a65948b0c957007ca387cd56b690f9bab9c08: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit f7468c42b4196ee6323afb373ab9323971c38d69: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit 85e0cd6dd527cd55ad0440f14384529b83818228: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit f31e19a2e772c9ed00728ef142af9c550ea5de6a: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit 56eb7384443ef84e17e29504a304a071b189ae67: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit e4470030471e6810414b9de5e3b52e16f2245d12: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit f913b48caa097c3b2cb3f491707944f88d52d89f: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit 4390f26923d572c6dab6cce8282c7cad5520d785: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit 0f66db71a06bd7d651a0cd80877d8043b70fda20: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit d71472c40b36dcdf0396afc9778f6137eea45887: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit e8d3b19a91a2d86b6a91bd19dc811e851398b519: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit afd9fc0cc87e56ed7736d633e17d0ef77817b3cc: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit 811b3217708358cf1b75fba4602a64a426fce0f5: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit e7a751a597c6f5e4770c61bdee6220d55a37cba9: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit 3e32ad6192fe093e03e6b9346c3a90b16d9905c0: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit 5e66b47528e79d3bbb769e137f036a1fa99cccf9: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > warning in commit d90d67d94ca47142670dff13fcb81ab7afab07bb: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > Checking objects: 100% (1711464/1711464), done. > Checking connectivity: 1711464, done. git fsck on lkml/git/1.git reports: > Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done. > warning in commit 299dbd50b6995c6debe2275f0df984ce697fb4cc: nulInCommit: NUL > byte in the commit object body > Checking objects: 100% (1427013/1427013), done. git fsck on lkml/git/2.git reports: > Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done. > warning in commit 696b4d4e94dfc2c4a8518f642879ed74bc415ecd: badTimezone: > invalid author/committer line - bad time zone > Checking objects: 100% (1366098/1366098), done.
