[Bioc-devel] query regarding bfg on bioconductor repository

[Turaga, Nitesh]

Hi Shweta,

Please hold off making anymore commits to restfulSE. I’ve noticed some discrepancies in your package pre-release and post-release. I’ll try to correct it the best I can before letting you know. 

The issues seem to be two-fold, duplicate commits and unusually large file package. Your BFG cleaning as we spoke off line succeeded in making the package size smaller, but it seems to have induced more issues as far as contamination of commit history goes. 

I’ll work on this in the next day or so, and let you know. 

You can then sync a fresh copy of the package on the Bioconductor git server.

Best,

Nitesh
