--strip-blobs-bigger-than also removed other files

[JESii]

Created a new copy of my repo with the --mirror option. Then I ran bfg [1.13.0] twice on my repo, once to remove blobs > 25M java -jar bfg-1.13.0.jar --strip-blobs-bigger-than 25M .dotfiles.git/ It reported that the following files were removed:

 Chromium Embedded Framework
 python-packages-27.zip

and then again, when everything looked OK, I ran it again to remove blogs > 5M java -jar bfg-1.13.0.jar --strip-blobs-bigger-than 5M .dotfiles.git/ It reported the following files were removed:

cryptography.hazmat.bindings._openssl.so
 icudtl.dat
libdropbox_python.2.7.dylib

It all looked good, but when I started a new terminal, I found that:

• my .bashrc_aliases file had also been removed
• my .vim configuration was fouled up : couldn't start normally due to .vimrc issues and missing plugins

Any idea what might have happened?

Does anything in stdout or the reports mention anything to do with .bashrc_aliases? I don't suppose you can reproduce this with a minimal shareable repo?

How did you establish .bashrc_aliases was removed - cloned the repo?

My bad; turns out that file had not been committed, so it got swept out with the trash. Sorry for the false alarm.
