I have been too fast. :-) Well, let me know if git-references for the
next PoG report.  Because I suspect that (guix swh) used by
’check-archival’ reports incorrectly missing archives and IIUC you use
another entry-point.  For instance, give a look at [1].

Some should be fixed soon. Other are already fixed but the fix has not
yet landed to production.  However, some are still open; for instance

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
26/10/2021, 09:29:59 git https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn accepted failed
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and the log says:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
swh.loader.git.converters.HashMismatch: Expected Directory hash to be
5475d108765c5591003210e70fc01bf2a77fca55, got 59d6219647cd84a027780487f0e021e4f57e93d6
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and in the same time
<https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn>.

And probably also hitting when [1] reports.

Bah, complicated story… :-)
