    So for context, I visited Portland, OR, and saw Adrian face to face. I obviously had to spend some time playing with this, and went and relinked the kernel with a custom version string and learned a few things about it. With luck I'll have a more in-depth opportunity to play with it.

    I remember converting about 50-60 repos from svn to git, and it was a reasonable amount of painful, and that was with only 40 or so committers to account for. I can only imagine how many a project that size has. I doubt that you'd want to map them all to Joe Bloggs.

    Really cool. Your code rot comment really stood out to me. I was trying to run packet radio (1k2 baud AFSK AX.25 over ham radio) with the compiled ports in NetBSD. Unfortunately, code rot has got to the BBS software, and it crashes when a new user connects and tries to register their home BBS. This stuff seems right up your alley, but not sure if you are a ham radio/packet radio guy. I am not really a programmer, so I am not sure how to go about debugging and fixing the source. I started with GDB, but it's socket simply goes away in a crash and does not seem to do anything in GDB. I am also not sure if the binary is stripped. That is about as much as I know about this process.
