A repo rebase by Astra ran more than 6 hours and still was not finished

Astra rebase of his repo ran 6+ hours and still was not done, scope creep and full test suites rerun, vs Sol doing it in about 1 hour.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Astra starts the rebase
  2. Scope creeps
  3. Full test suites get rerun again and again
  4. 6 hours later it is still not done, where another model did it in about 1 hour

Why it’s worth knowing

The same job took another model about an hour.
