Re: [Bug] Git subtree regression

George,

My original patch for this issue introduced other regressions and needed to be reverted. I don't recommend using it.

Instead, can you take a look at:

  
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20260215201748.889866-1-ask+git@howdoi.land/

which removes the "ignore other splits" optimization altogether. After some research, I suspect that this optimization may not have enough information to work correctly and preserve history in all cases.

I'd also appreciate testing of

  
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20260215201748.889866-1-ask+git@howdoi.land/

which fixes a "recursion depth exceeded" bug on Debian/Ubuntu.

I've CC'd you on both of these patch series.

I have tested both of these on selected subdirectories of your athena repository. They seem to work. But I'd appreciate it if you could look at all the splits you normally do and see if the patches correctly preserve history for you.

Thanks,

Colin
