I do a gitpull of both sites and use git log to show info, and it results 
exactly the same gor both.

git remote set-url origin https://git.busybox.net/busybox
change to busybox directory
git pull
git log --pretty=format:"<%h> %cd [%an] %s" --date=short

git remote set-url origin 
https://github.com/vda-linux/busybox_mirror
change to busybox directory
git pull
git log --pretty=format:"<%h> %cd [%an] %s" --date=short

Out results same for top 20 lines (head -n 20)
