Makes sense, thanks.
I gave up since the program never seemed to finish.

I wasn’t interested in fixing the repo for future development. Just to
see if that weird git-log(1) behavior went away. It’s like the inverse
of a minimal example to reproduce a bug; repair the corrupt object so
that future askers can be convinced that it’s not a bug. ;)
I’m not affiliated with the project.
