Subject: corrupted repo and "git push --mirror"
Message-ID: <AANLkTikZEa4GeQHMXC2vBc8_+1208oEs7d-0KGXBw0p2@mail.gmail.com>

This is probably a stupid question, but in the spirit of extreme
paranoia *and* because it's kinda hard to "try it and see", I'm going
to risk the ridicule :)

Gitolite has mirroring support now, basically using "git push
--mirror".  The question I was asked, and I couldn't *confidently*
answer, was: what happens if the source repo suffers some corruption
for some reason?  Does the corruption propagate?

I suspect not, but I'd appreciate corraboration and if anyone can sat
what actually will happen that'd be great.

Secondary question: what happens if the receiving repo is corrupt?

Thanks!
