	478 <blockquote>
	479 It is common for git hosting environments to configure all forks of the
	480 same repo to use an "object storage" repository. For example, this is
	481 what allows git.kernel.org's 600+ forks of linux.git to take up only
	482 10GB on disk as opposed to 800GB.
	483
	484 One of the side-effects of this setup is that any object in the shared
	485 repository can be accessed from any of the forks, which periodically
	486 confuses people into believing that something terrible has happened.

	829 refresh keys from the Web Key Directory or via other methods
	830 configured with --auto-key-locate.
