+## External research on Matrix, exhibit C
+
+[This furry](https://soatok.blog/2024/08/14/security-issues-in-matrixs-olm-library/) published a pretty damning review of the fundamental
+E2E library used in most Matrix clients, libolm. It's vulnerable to
+*significant* security issues like cache-timing attacks, malleable
+signatures and, critically, private key material leakage.
+
+Matrix's response to this was appalling: they simply (and rather
+silently) [deprecated the library](https://gitlab.matrix.org/matrix-org/olm/-/commit/6d4b5b07887821a95b144091c8497d09d377f985), and [dug their heels in](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41249371)
+when confronted about those security issues.
+
+At this point, one cannot really trust the cryptography in
+Matrix. Even though the newer E2E library was audited, it's only used
+by Element (and therefore not the client *I* am currently using). And
+besides, with such attitude, I doubt we can trust Matrix security at
+all going forward.

tentative fixes for syncthing clusterfuckery
Here are the notes i painfully wrote down to get there, then realizing
those conflicts *kept* coming and I had to fix the underlying
issues. this is kept here in case they come back.
# Sample sync problems

```
A is the conflict file, B is the good version. good version has more
percent and extra annotations.
### Conflict 20240803-022141-P2R7L33.lua and 20240803-022217-P2R7L33.lua
Identical diff.
### .old conflict files
We assume those are useless (and, by the way, find the
`metadata.lua.old` to be equally garbage).
## Book 2
### Conflict 20240802-232233-P2R7L33.opf

harder. conflicted version is marked as finished while current one
isn't, which is wrong. Note that the latter comes from the Android
device (`/storage/emulated`) and has a later timestamp: it's likely
the file was open there *after* the book was finished and that
erroneous state was saved.
Conflict file moved in place instead of actual file.

compatibility problem? one uses highlight, the other bookmarks. latter
is finished, other isn't, and latter has a book style tweak. kept
latter (normal version).
`sync-conflict-20240810-133125-P2R7L33.lua` and `conflict-20240810-115213-P2R7L33.lua` identical.

Another book was similar.
# Other notes
After dealing with *all* those conflicts, for some reason conflict
files *returned*. Again with the device ID `P2R7L3` which is, no
surprise, the kobo reader. That device has this weird issue that it
seems to rescan all files at each restart, and treats *all* of them as
new. This takes a ridiculously long time, of course, but more
crucially, is likely the cause of those conflicts.
In fact, while being on both devices, I cannot convince the kobo to
accept certain changes, namely deleting files.

+[[!meta title="Why I should be running Debian unstable right now"]]
+
+So a common theme on the Internet about Debian is [so old](https://workaround.org/debian-packages-are-so-old/). And
+right, I am getting close to the stage that I feel a little laggy: I
+am using a bunch of backports for packages I need, and I'm missing a
+bunch of *other* packages that just landed in unstable and didn't make
+it to backports for various reasons.
+
+I disagree that "old" is a bad thing: we definitely run Debian stable
+on a fleet of about 100 servers and can barely keep up, I would make
+it *older*. And "old" is a good thing: (port) wine and (any) beer
+needs time to age properly, and so do humans, although some humans
+never seem to grow old enough to find wisdom.
+
+But at this point, on my laptop, I am feeling like I'm [missing

+## 2024 update
+
+Right now, I am considering a new tablet since I bricked the Samsung
+(!). My main concern with that tablet was that it was stuck in
+Samsung's crap Android OS, and updates were locked behind a login
+wall. It was also annoying not to be able to install my own firmware
+or at least clean up the spyware.
+
+Besides, now I'm considering perhaps using a normal Linux distro as a
+base for a tablet, now that Organic Maps is available in
+Flatpak... (My biggest blocker was pretty much missing OSMand, but OM
+is a good replacement.)
+
+I [wrote a spec on reddit](https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/comments/1e953mx/oled_tablet_running_linux_android_acceptable_if/), and it looks like the intersection of
+"OLED" and "mainline linux" is pretty much impossible except perhaps
+the [ASUS T3300](https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-home/vivobook/vivobook-13-slate-oled-t3300/) although it's not clear if that runs mainline or
+not. According to [this thread](https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/comments/woqf2q/anyone_using_linux_on_vivobook_13_slate_oled_t3300/), Ubuntu *works* except for the
+camera, and ChromeOS works except the camera and fingerprint
+reader. [Similar report from Arch Linux](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/ASUS#Vivobook). Pen requires charging
+unfortunately, so probably not great.
+
+Alternatively, I've been told Samsung is not *that* bad and perhaps
+it's worth giving them a try again, with the understanding it will
+*never* be flashed with a proper OS...
+
+Why can't we have nice things?

+
+ * too roomy grids (e.g. geeqie has huge gaps around images, darktable

+   handles portraits and landscape views (that is, by scaling
+   portraits images to be as high as landscape images so they all fit
+   on the same line, or at least arranging a clever mosaic)
+
+ * clunky (e.g. Darktable used to have a <kbd>z</kbd> key to flip
+   between full screen preview of an image and the light table, that's
+   gone and I don't know how to find it again; geeqie's side panel is

+rsync.net is quirky. they h ave an old borg version so you need to
+specify:
+
+    export BORG_REMOTE_PATH=/usr/local/bin/borg1/borg1
+
+otherwise you get all sorts of warnings and, ultimately, can't
+actually backup. They also do daily snapshots which is not super
+useful with borg.
+
+Then it's kind of weird to figure out where to connect. You need to
+login to https://www.rsync.net/ then click on the `FMT` link that will
+show you a hostname to connect to, which is *also* your username. Then
+everything happens over SSH, for example you can look at your quota
+with:
+
+    ssh fm1234@fm1234.rsync.net quota
+
+My username, for example, is `fm1234` (redacted) above.
+
+They have nice server-side ZFS snapshots but that's not very useful
+for me as I do not want to trust them with my cleartext data, so I use
+borg for my backups. The magic borg URL is something like:
+
+    export BORG_REPO="ssh://fm1234@fm1234.rsync.net/data1/home/fm1234/borg-marcos"

+## Nokia n900

+hardware is somewhat slow. There's [Neo900](http://neo900.org/), a

+
+# Features
+
+Those features are nice to have. Unfortunately, they are now showing
+their age and might not be relevant anymore.
+
+## FM support
+
+FM support in newer smartphones in spotty at best. According to [pdadb.net](http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdachooser), only 35 phones (out of 4111) have FM support. Amongst those, only 4 run android.
+
+## External keyboard
+
+Less rare in newer phones, real keyboards are still hard to find. Out of the 4111 android phones in the padb.net inventory, only 229 have actual keyboards, and often those are only regular phone keyboards, not actual QWERTY keyboards.
+
+## Liberated baseband
+
+The "[[!wikipedia Baseband processor]]" in a phone is a second processor in the phone that handles phone calls. Very often, and in fact in almost all cases, this is proprietary hardware and software that is hidden from the main processor, as a black box. So even if you manage to install free software (like cyanogenmod) on an Android device, you are still stuck with this [problematic backdoor](http://www.extremetech.com/computing/170874-the-secret-second-operating-system-that-could-make-every-mobile-phone-insecure).
+
+Note that there is also software in the SIM card, which makes it three different operating systems running at once in your phone.
+
+Some people are trying to fix this:
+
+* [Osmocom](http://osmocom.org/) is a
+  [collection of projects](http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OsmocomOverview)
+  that try to attack various communication projects, with
+  [OpenBTS](http://cgit.osmocom.org/cgit/osmo-bts/) attacking GSM in
+  particular
+* [lima](http://limadriver.org/) and
+  [freedreno](http://freedreno.github.io/) are attacking the graphics stack
+
+.. but it's not in a phone yet. Ideally, a phone would just be another
+general purpose computer, radio included, so that you'd have a simple
+[SDR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software-defined_radio) that you
+would program GSM, FM, AM, CB, or whatever protocol acronym you would
+fancy on top of that, all in software.
+
+## Roaming and frequency support
+
+What a nightmare... since [3G](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G) came
+up, there's all sorts of very different frequencies for different
+providers *and* for different
+countries. [This map](http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html) has a
+good explanation of the world-wide coverage bands...
+
+See also [the canada coverage map](http://maps.mobileworldlive.com/network.php?cid=170&cname=Canada)
+to figure out exactly what protocols and what frequencies a provider
+uses.
+
+All numbers are in MHz unless otherwise noted.
+
+### 2G
+
+* Europe: 900, 1800
+* Americas: 850, 1900 (except east of south-america)
+
+### 3G
+
+It gets complicated here. But in general:
+
+* Europe: 900, 2100
+* Americas: 850 ([Rogers][], [Bell][Bell 3G]), 1700 (Vidéotron), 1900
+  ([Rogers][], [Bell][Bell 3G]). the three big networks seem to
+  support HSDPA, HSPA+, UMTS or W-CDMA, and only Rogers not supporting
+  EV-DO
+  ([source](https://community.koodomobile.com/koodo/topics/the_big_three_canadian_network_frequencies))

+# Other fonts
+
+In [[my previous blog post about fonts|2020-03-10-font-changes]], I
+had a list of alternative fonts, but it seems people are not digging
+through this, so I figured I would redo the list here to preempt "but
+have you tried Jetbrains mono" kind of comments.
+
+My requirements are:
+
+- *no* ligatures: yes, in the previous post, I *wanted* ligatures but
+  I have changed my mind. after testing this, I find them distracting,
+  confusing, and they often break the monospace nature of the display
+- monospace: this is to display code
+- italics: often used when writing Markdown, where I do make use of
+  italics... Emacs falls back to underlining text when lacking italics
+  which is hard to read
+- free-ish, ultimately should be packaged in Debian
+
+Here is the list of alternatives I have considered in the past and why
+I'm not using them:
+
+- [agave](https://b.agaric.net/page/agave): recommended by tarzeau, not sure I like the lowercase
+  `a`, a bit too exotic, packaged as [fonts-agave](https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fonts-agave)
+
+- [Cascadia code](https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code): optional ligatures, multilingual, not liking the
+  alignment, ambiguous parenthesis (look too much like square
+  brackets), new default for [Windows Terminal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Terminal) and Visual Studio,
+  packaged as [fonts-cascadia-code](https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fonts-cascadia-code)
+
+- Fira Code: ligatures, was using Fira Mono from which it is derived,
+  lacking italics except for forks, packaged as [fonts-firacode](https://tracker.debian.org/fonts-firacode)
+
+- [Hack](https://sourcefoundry.org/hack/): no ligatures, very similar to Fira, italics, good alternative,

+- [Intel One Mono](https://github.com/intel/intel-one-mono/): nice legibility, no ligatures, alignment issues
+  in box drawing, not packaged in Debian
 
+- [Iosevka](https://typeof.net/Iosevka/): optional ligatures, italics, multilingual, good
+  legibility, has a proportional option, serifs and sans, line height
+  issue in box drawing, fails dash test, not in Debian
+
+- [Jetbrains Mono](https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/): (mandatory?) ligatures, good coverage,
+  originally rumored to be not DFSG-free (Debian Free Software
+  Guidelines) but ultimately [packaged in Debian](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=950152) as
+  [fonts-jetbrains-mono](https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fonts-jetbrains-mono)
+
+- [Monoid](https://larsenwork.com/monoid/): optional ligatures, feels much "thinner" than
+  Jetbrains, not liking alignment or spacing on that one, ambiguous
+  `2Z`, problems rendering box drawing, packaged as [fonts-monoid](https://tracker.debian.org/fonts-monoid)
+
+- [Mononoki](https://madmalik.github.io/mononoki/): no ligatures, looks good, good alternative, suggested
+  by the Debian fonts team as part of [fonts-recommended](https://tracker.debian.org/fonts-recommended), problems
+  rendering box drawing, em dash bigger than en dash, packaged as
+  [fonts-mononoki](https://tracker.debian.org/fonts-mononoki)
+
+- [Source Code Pro](http://adobe-fonts.github.io/source-code-pro/): italics, looks good, but dash metrics look
+  whacky, [not in Debian](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=736681)
+
+- [spleen](https://github.com/fcambus/spleen): bitmap font, old school, spacing issue in box drawing
+  test, packaged as [fonts-spleen](https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fonts-spleen)
+
+- [sudo](https://www.kutilek.de/sudo-font/): personal project, no ligatures, zero originally not
+  dotted, relied on metrics for legibility, spacing issue in box
+  drawing, not in Debian
+
+So, if I get tired of Commit Mono, I might probably try, in order:
+
+1. Hack
+1. Jetbrains Mono
+
+Iosevka, Monoki and Intel One Mono are also good options, but have
+alignment problems. Iosevka is particularly disappointing as the `EM
+DASH` metrics are just completely wrong (much too wide).
+
+This was tested using the [Programming fonts](https://www.programmingfonts.org/) site which has *all*
+the above fonts, which cannot be said of [Font Squirrel](https://www.fontsquirrel.com/) or [Google

It has a more extensive sample coverage like b6G& and eco that we
didn't have. Also we had $ on its own without anything to compare it
to, so add the interesting $sS52Z% string in there as well.
Shift the full keyboard sample upwars and make it ordered more

+I am getting increasingly frustrated by Fira Mono's [lack of italic
+support](https://github.com/mozilla/Fira/issues/38) so I am looking at [[alternative fonts
+again|2020-03-10-font-changes]].
+
+This time I seem to be settling on either [Commit Mono](https://commitmono.com/) or [Space
+Mono](https://www.colophon-foundry.org/custom-projects/space-mono). For now I'm using Commit Mono because it's a little more
+compressed than Fira and does have a italic version. I don't like how
+Space Mono's parenthesis (`()`) is "squarish", it feels visually
+ambiguous with the square brackets (`[]`), a big no-no for my primary
+use case (code).
+
+So here I am using a new font, again. It required changing a bunch of
+configuration files in my home directory (which is in a private
+repository, sorry) and Emacs configuration (thankfully that's
+public!). 
+
+One gotcha is I realized I didn't actually have a global font
+configuration in Emacs, as some [Faces](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Faces.html) define their own font
+family, which overrides the frame defaults.
+
+This is what it looks like, before:

+
+Tor has finally completed a long migration from legacy Git
+infrastructure ([Gitolite and GitWeb](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/howto/git)) to our self-hosted
+[GitLab](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/howto/gitlab) server.
+
+Git repository addresses have therefore changed. Many of you probably
+have made the switch already, but if not, you will need to change:
+
+    https://git.torproject.org/
+
+to:
+
+    https://gitlab.torproject.org/
+
+In your Git configuration.
+
+The [GitWeb front page](https://gitweb.torproject.org/) is now an archived listing of all the
+repositories before the migration. Inactive git repositories were
+archived in GitLab [legacy/gitolite namespace](https://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/gitolite/) and the
+`gitweb.torproject.org` and `git.torproject.org` web sites now
+redirect to GitLab.
+
+Best effort was made to reproduce the original gitolite repositories
+faithfully and also avoid duplicating too much data in the
+migration. But it's *possible* that some data present in Gitolite has
+not migrated to GitLab.
+
+User repositories are particularly at risk, because they were
+massively migrated, and they were "re-forked" from their upstreams, to
+avoid wasting disk space. If a user had a project with a matching name
+it was *assumed* to have the right data, which might be inaccurate.
+
+The two virtual machines responsible for the legacy service (`cupani`
+for `git-rw.torproject.org` and `vineale` for `git.torproject.org` and
+`gitweb.torproject.org`) have been shutdown. Their disks will remain
+for 3 months (until the end of July 2024) and their backups for
+another year after that (until the end of July 2025), after which
+point all the data from those hosts will be destroyed, with only the
+GitLab archives remaining.
+
+The rest of this article expands on how this was done and what kind of
+problems we faced during the migration.
+
+# Where is the code?
+
+Normally, nothing should be lost. All repositories in gitolite have
+been either explicitly migrated by their owners, forcibly migrated by
+the sysadmin team ([TPA](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/)), or explicitly destroyed at their owner's
+request.
+
+An exhaustive [rewrite map](https://archive.torproject.org/websites/gitolite2gitlab.txt) translates gitolite projects to GitLab
+projects. Some of those projects actually redirect to their *parent*
+in cases of empty repositories that were obvious forks. Destroyed
+repositories redirect to the GitLab front page.
+
+Because the migration happened progressively, it's technically
+possible that commits pushed to gitolite were lost after the
+migration. We took great care to avoid that scenario. First, we
+adopted a proposal ([TPA-RFC-36](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/policy/tpa-rfc-36-gitolite-gitweb-retirement)) in June 2023 to announce the
+transition. Then, in [March 2024](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/41213), we locked down all repositories
+from any further changes. Around that time, only a [handful of
+repositories](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/41214#note_2983302 "handful of repositories") had changes made after the adoption date, and we
+examined each repository carefully to make sure nothing was lost.
+
+Still, we built a [diff of all the changes in the git references](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/41215#note_3023924)
+that archivists can peruse to check for data loss. It's large (6MiB+)
+because a lot of repositories were migrated before the mass migration
+and then kept evolving in GitLab. Many other repositories were rebuilt
+in GitLab from parent to rebuild a fork relationship which added extra
+references to those clones.
+
+A note to amateur archivists out there, it's probably too late for one
+last crawl now. The Git repositories now all redirect to GitLab and
+are effectively unavailable in their original form.
+
+That said, the GitWeb site was crawled into the [Internet Archive](https://archive.org/) [in
+February 2024](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/41218#note_2992296), so at least some copy of it is available in the
+[Wayback Machine](https://web.archive.org/web/20240204162238/https://gitweb.torproject.org/). At that point, however, many developers had already
+migrated their projects to GitLab, so the copies there were already
+possibly out of date compared with the repositories in GitLab.
+
+[Software Heritage](https://www.softwareheritage.org/) also has a copy of all repositories hosted on
+Gitolite [since June 2023](https://gitlab.softwareheritage.org/swh/infra/sysadm-environment/-/issues/4939) and have continuously kept mirroring the
+repositories, where they will be kept hopefully in eternity. There's
+an [issue](https://gitlab.softwareheritage.org/swh/devel/swh-web/-/issues/4787) where the main website can't find the repositories when
+you search for `gitweb.torproject.org`, instead [search for
+`git.torproject.org`](https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/search/?q=git.torproject.org&visit_type=git&with_content=true&with_visit=true).
+
+In any case, if you believe data is missing, please do let us know by
+[opening an issue with TPA](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/new).
+
+# Why?
+
+This is an old project in the making. The first [discussion about
+migrating from gitolite to GitLab](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/40472) started in 2020 (almost 4 years
+ago). But [going further back](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/howto/trac#history), the first GitLab experiment was in
+2016, almost a decade ago.
+
+The current GitLab server dates from 2019, [replacing Trac for issue
+tracking in 2020](https://blog.torproject.org/from-trac-into-gitlab-for-tor/). It was originally supposed to host only mirrors
+for merge requests and issue trackers but, naturally, one thing led to
+another and eventually, GitLab had grown a container registry,
+continuous integration (CI) runners, GitLab Pages, and, of course,
+hosted most Git repositories.
+
+There were hesitations at moving to GitLab for code hosting. We had
+[discussions about the increased attack surface](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/gitlab/-/issues/81) and [ways to
+mitigate that](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/gitlab/-/issues/98), but, ultimately, it seems the issues were not that
+serious and the community embraced GitLab.
+
+TPA actually migrated its most critical repositories out of shared
+hosting entirely, into specific servers (e.g. the Puppet Git
+repository is just on the Puppet server now), leveraging Git's
+decentralized nature and removing an entire attack surface from our
+infrastructure. Some of those repositories are *mirrored* back into
+GitLab, but the authoritative copy is not on GitLab.
+
+In any case, the proposal to migrate from Gitolite to GitLab was
+effectively just formalizing a *fait accompli*.
+
+# How to migrate from Gitolite / cgit to GitLab
+
+The progressive migration was a challenge. If you intend to migrate
+between hosting platforms, we strongly recommend to make a "flag day"
+during which you migrate *all* repositories *at once*. This ensures a
+smoother transition and avoids elaborate rewrite rules.
+
+When Gitolite access was shutdown, we had repositories on both GitLab
+and Gitolite, without a clear relationship between the two. A priori,
+the plan then was to import all the remaining Gitolite repositories
+into the `legacy/gitolite` namespace, but that seemed wasteful,
+particularly for large repositories like [Tor Browser](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser) which uses
+nearly a gigabyte of disk space. So we took special care to avoid
+duplicating repositories.
+
+When the [mass migration](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/41215) started, only 71 of the 538 Gitolite
+repositories were `Migrated to GitLab` in the `gitolite.conf`
+file. So, given that we had *hundreds* of repositories to migrate:, we
+developed some automation to "[save time](https://xkcd.com/1205/)". We already automate
+similar ad-hoc tasks with [Fabric](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/howto/fabric/), so we used that framework here
+as well. (Our normal configuration management tool is [Puppet](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/howto/puppet),
+which is a poor fit here.)
+
+So a relatively [large amount of Python code](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/fabric-tasks/-/blob/85121b4a8a293cebb0d9dfd68ebf26e2cc95ed76/fabric_tpa/gitolite.py) was produced to
+basically do the following:
+
+ 1. check if all on-disk repositories are listed in `gitolite.conf`
+    (and vice versa) and either add missing repositories or delete
+    them from disk if garbage
+ 2. for each repository in `gitolite.conf`, if its category is marked
+    `Migrated to GitLab`, skip, otherwise;
+ 3. find a matching GitLab project by name, prompt the user for
+    multiple matches
+ 4. if a match is found, redirect if the repository is non-empty 
+    * we have GitLab projects that *look* like the real thing, but are
+    only present to host migrated Trac issues
+    * in such cases we cloned the Gitolite project locally and pushed
+    to the existing repository instead
+ 5. otherwise, a new repository is created in the `legacy/gitolite`
+    namespace, using the "import" mechanism in GitLab to automatically
+    import the repository from Gitolite, creating redirections and
+    updating `gitolite.conf` to document the change
+
+User repositories (those under the `user/` directory in Gitolite) were
+handled specially. First, the existing redirection map was checked to
+see if a similarly named project was migrated (so that,
+e.g. `user/dgoulet/tor` is properly treated as a fork of
+`tpo/core/tor`). Then the parent project was forked in GitLab and the
+Gitolite project force-pushed to the fork. This allows us to show the
+fork relationship in GitLab and, more importantly, benefit from the
+"pool" feature in GitLab which deduplicates disk usage between forks.
+
+Sometimes, we found no such relationships. Then we simply imported
+multiple repositories with similar names in the `legacy/gitolite`
+namespace, sometimes creating forks between user repositories, on a
+first-come-first-served basis from the `gitolite.conf` order.
+
+The code used in this migration is now available publicly. We
+encourage other groups planning to migrate from Gitolite/GitWeb to
+GitLab to use (and contribute to) our [fabric-tasks](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/fabric-tasks/) repository,
+even though it does have its fair share of hard-coded assertions. 
+
+The main entry point is the `gitolite.mass-repos-migration` task. A
+typical migration job looked like:
