The following actions have taken place:
- 1700: started update on forge-stage
- 1710: update stopped as disk full
- 1715: all services on forge-stage stopped
- 1750: disk space provisioned and forge-stage rebooted
- 1755: gcc/gcc-TEST renamed to gcc/gcc
- 1758: gcc/gcc-mirror renamed to gcc/gcc-archive
- 1800: gcc/gcc-wwwdocs-TEST renamed to gcc/gcc-wwwdocs
- 1800: gcc/gcc-wwwdocs-mirror renamed to gcc/gcc-wwwdocs-archive
- 1840: removed multiple branches and tags from gcc/gcc
- 1845: checked state after batrachomyomachia cron job update
- 1858: updated https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/UsingForge

The master branch is no longer present on the forge

Consider updating your remotes.

A git gc is being debated in the overseers channel.
I plan on posting a change to the github template tomorrow.

Cheers!
