| - Add option to use manifest file from https://lore.kernel.org/manifest.js.gz |
| instead of periodically probing git fetch to check for new mail. This would |
| allow to compare "fingerprint" or "modified" entries to see if the repos |
| actually changed. The "fingerprint" entry is just `git show-ref | sha1sum`, |
| which is deterministic. |
| |
| - Using the manifest file will additionally help to automatically recognize |
| epoch roll-over. It does not happen very frequently, but it does happen -- |
| 0.git will eventually stop being updated and become 1.git, etc. Relying on |
| the manifest, one will be able to automatically recognize when such event |
| occurs and therefore it wouldn't need to be manually enabled in the l2md |
| configuration file. |
