I decided to see how many commits GitHub (and git) could take before acting kind of wonky. At ~19 million commits (and counting) to master: it’s wonky.

The GitHub API has periodic issues merging/creating PRs. (I use PRs since that is more reliable than keeping a local master up to date via pulling at this point).

GitHub reports… infinity infinity commits. Doing a full clone from GitHub Actions is taking around 2 hours.

Using:

git pull origin master

to update my local master hangs for a while before even printing anything.

If anyone has seen a public GitHub repo with more commits to its main branch, let me know.

If anyone wants to see how slow wonky git acts at this scale, feel free to clone.
