Comment (by jasonadamyoung):

 I need to chime in with a "me too" here.

 I went to update to 4.9.8 today and observed the broken mirror.  My
 workflow is treat the GitHub mirror as an upstream remote and do a git
 merge from the tags into my own git repositories for my wordpress sites +
 plugins, I've been doing that for years, and it's always been spot-on
 reliable until today.

 Switching to git://core.git.wordpress.org/ is going to be a giant mess of
 conflicts because the git history is treated as unrelated - at least from
 the first local tests (also being able to use the GitHub web UI to inspect
 changes is a huge benefit as well)

 I'm super thankful for this mirror and appreciate the volunteer work that
 goes into maintaining it. It's been a first-class part of the WordPress
 dev for years, if that's going to change, I do understand - but it's
 definitely going to cause some headaches.

 I know this is assigned, but I just wanted to add the "me too" about how
 useful this mirror has been and would continue to be.
