They are there to map git commits back to SVN revisions. What will change is that they'll never change again and are just a static, eternal record of that mapping. Of course, freebsd committers can then in the future push their own notes (but not force-push them) , but it's not clear what you would want to put into them? If you don't have a need to ever map git <-> svn commits, then you don't need to fetch them indeed. hth Uli
