IM SORRY OPENRC I FORGOT GITHUB DID THIS ANNOYING CROSS-REFERENCE THING TnT
I GOT ANXIOUS WITH SCHOOL and forgot
oh my god
github i hate you
update: looks like deleting the OpenRC fork did something... i'm writing this up.
in the meantime, for your info: GitHub doesn't run gc and you should not think that force-pushing deletes objects.
in fact, you should not trust GitHub at all... i just like testing the boundaries because i don't mutiliate my commit message for anyone. :)
