I’ve been trying to follow Mikkel Hoegh’s handy instructions to mirror some of the Drupal CVS repositories onto github, so that git users like myself can make better use of our favorite tool. But I hit a snag last month when I found a bug in my Drupal git mirror. A commit from last December had failed to go through, breaking all the Drupal 7 commits since then.

I’ve spent some time off and on trying to figure out what went wrong, since a mirror with occasional errors and omissions isn’t very useful. Just today I found a very handy post on Stack Overflow that appears to have solved my problem.
