Looks like a promising tool and workflow to mitigate the risks we are discussing here. If you haven’t already done so, it might help the discussion here if you could highlight how this app deals with the issues outlined. Is the intent of the mirror repo creation that it’s more-or-less equivalent to “git clone —mirror”? I took a quick look at the code, and didn’t see a direct correspondence with “git clone —mirror” when creating the mirror repository.

This likely means that your DNS server IP is actually a load-balanced pool of servers, with some running compliant software and others not. If you see any errors when running the test repeatedly, I’d check with your DNS provider, and share the test results.
