the ballot receipts should never contain a diff - should be an add and not an modify #101

Closed windoverwater closed 1 year ago

When clicking the contest digests in a ballot receipt file, sometimes the commit is an edit and not an add. An edit contains a diff which would be confusing to a non developer.

All the contest commits should be an add, which can be done if all the branches start from the beginning of the repo instead of picking a random commit on main.

p.s. actually, since receipts contain the payload in the file as opposed to CVRs which have the payload in the commit message, there is no need to even merge the receipts - they can be left on the branch. (!)
