So, comparing my subtree split of fanficfare I get a root commit at:
69c3f0eec7fe3ce2983dec09b5dcba5a02d9169c
In the AUR, the root commit is:
3c5d51989c6d14feea568ba6627dd9e5e7492f67

git diff them, they're identical trees.
The commit messages are the same, the author and commit info are identical.


How is that even possible???
