Its wild to me too, but I've seen people actually debate fork perseverance and I'm always confused what the issue is when you can just have a local copy but somehow that often never gets brought up in those conversations. Its not even about something used in a package manager, they just really had no backup when the default behavior of the git protocol is to have a backup. I'm like "wait did they actually lose something?" so since that seems to be the case, yeah, gotta remind people.
