Subject: bridge-utils: request to fix git tags
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2025 02:26:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <161B0C34-1F18-4010-B89B-738DA12F77DC@cisco.com> (raw)

Hello,

The bridge-utils git repo [1] has several tags that cause recent-ish git fsck
to fail with the missingSpaceBeforeDate error [2]. This is frustrating when
working with github, where such cosmetic errors are not ignored by default as
they are by other platforms (e.g. gitlab).

Though bridge-utils is deprecated,  I was hoping somebody with access might be
willing to fix up the tags?

I've verified that something like [3, see: "How to work around that issue..."]
address it correctly.

Thanks in advance!
