Well, I think it is a lack of synchronisation between all of 3;
especially with this work around via external GitHub upstream.

What Ricardo did previously (my rewrite of history on Nov. 10 on
GitHub, and then pushed by Ricardo to Savannah today), quoting their
word: "delete origin/wip-r, reset my local copy to zimoun/wip-r,
rebased on top of origin/master, and pushed origin/wip-r".  Maybe you
could do the same.

Or if you have the super power to do that: you can delete the branch
and re-push.

Well, I do not know what Ricardo thinks, but personally I would prefer
first a wip-r branch then merge.  It will avoid avoid annoyance of
possible broken packages, I mean we could detect them.


All the best,
