When I start aider with this, I get: aider: error: Couldn't parse config file: while scanning a simple key in "/work/kernel/linux/.aider.conf.yml", line 3, column 1 could not find expected ':' in "/work/kernel/linux/.aider.conf.yml", line 4, column 1 Not related to this series, but related to aider... I'm curious if anyone has got aider to work with the kernel repo. It seems to have problems with large repos. When starting in the kernel, I get: Unable to list files in git repo: cannot close exported pointers exist Is your git repo corrupted? Unable to read git repository, it may be corrupt? cannot close exported pointers exist but neither claude nor gemini-cli have any problems with the same repo. The aider FAQ[1] mentions using .aiderignore to ignore parts of the repo, but even with an "ignore everything" rule, I get the same error, so something seems wrong with aider and large repos.
