Description Alfred Wingate 2021-03-22 02:52:52 UTC

Noticed while looking at gentoo-mirror that several repositories had a sudden spike lately. After a look it seems to be that the CI is commiting "Merge/replace with the new version of main (reversed 'ours' strategy)" over and over again, on repositories that have switched to using main branch.

There are around 100 commits a day from the CI according to github pulse view, and in under a month jorgicio has accrued 2,595 commits of which two are not from the CI.
