Re: is this data corruption?

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

of course i am still hoping, if possible,for generic adice on
repairing a repo, detecting a bug, whether it is a bug, what looks
curiously strange, maybe some more questions like the previous one
about what does --cached say, what does --histogram and --patience do,
etc., any of this whether or not a repro is possible.  will repro if
possible just seems impossible.
