I did a new --force push by hand and it seems to have worked. Probably 
just a transient connection failure I didn't notice at the time. (The 
downside of dialing out multiple times in the same transaction, it says 
on the command line if there's an error but for all I know I closed the 
tab early...)

I was avoiding just --force pushing again because I didn't want to screw 
up things on your end... but you'll just wind up with an extra merge 
commit and a stranded "dummy" file in your repo, shouldn't be a problem. 
You _already_ merge each pull.

(The theory behind the script was "it's literally there for 5 seconds, 
the likelihood of anybody cloning at the wrong time is miniscule. The 5 
second wait is because  if you --force push the new commit away too fast 
microsoft github's plumbing won't acknowledge the commit was "to the 
main branch", which is apparently necessary to close the issue. I very 
much do not WANT to have to know or understand any of this, but here we 
are...)

I may start doing that. :)

Thanks,

P.S. I've never pulled from an external source in the history of the 
toybox repo, but that's just because I don't want to sit down and think 
through the security implications of somebody engineering an sha1sum 
collision (https://valerieaurora.org/hash.html doesn't take state actors 
into account, let alone palantir/blackwater/wagner type nonsense and 
whatever faang keeps to themselves) or doing something clever with an 
orphan commit. (I _could_ do commit signing with PGP keys and such, and 
people out there who HAVE thought through this think they need to, but 
that katamari only grows.) There are already a couple merge commits in 
the toybox history (one was my screw up and one was me trying a new 
workflow with a friend and deciding I didn't like it), adding a third 
wouldn't be a deal breaker but I want microsoft github to remain an 
_output_ not an input. Having microsoft github-only commits in the tree 
gives them too much importance, hence the script having a --force push 
in the first place. (And yes I'm aware git log .github gives 10 commits, 
but "commit to close microsoft github issue" boils a new frog.)
