What I'm saying is, there *was* a bug that caused the repository to
get into this state. That bug could be gone now (we can't seem to
stimulate it), but the bug's disappearance wouldn't magically fix up
the old bogus repository state. It would just mean no new instances
of that particular bogosity would appear.

s/clearly happening/clearly happened/
I'm not saying the bug is definitely gone now. Just saying a) we
haven't reproduced it yet, and b) there's an explanation for the
current behavior involving a past bug that need no longer exist.

That would be great!
