timestamp based rebuilds thinks everything needs to be rebuilt after "git merge" instead of "git rebase"

You have the timestamp based rebuilds feature enabled, in which we ask git how much has changed in your aports folder when compared to origin. Usually that should only be what you are working on, e.g. a few APKBUILDs or python files at most. But in your case, there are tons of files.

This is how I think most people use git with pmbootstrap.

Initial clone:

git clone https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap
cd pmbootstrap
git remote add git remote add -f MoreRobustThanYou git@github.com:MoreRobustThanYou/pmbootstrap

Updating master (which points to postmarketOS/pmbootstrap):

git checkout master
git pull

Updating your repo:

git fetch MoreRobustThanYou

Workarounds:

• Disable timestamp based rebuilds
• Clone the repo as described above

Some questions to help debugging this:

• How did you setup your repo?
• How do you integrate new changes? (you mentioned merging them?)
