The biggest annoyance for me is that adding the debian remote to my=20
barnowl repository causes its gitk --all view to become twice as long. =20
It also causes a search for all commits that include some particular=20
message or touch some particular file (which I typically do in gitk or git=
=20
log --all) to return everything twice. So I grafted most of the extra=20
stuff away locally, and figured it might be useful to turn that work into=
=20
something that would help everyone.
Admittedly, there isn=E2=80=99t a particular need for me to have the debian=
=20
remote. We used to have a copy of the debian branch in the main=20
repository, but nelhage deleted it (perhaps for reasons similar to the=20
above?).
