+ [2017-02-08T23:59:12Z] ShapeShifter499 I'm trying to compile a copy of LineageOS (Android) a phone LG Volt, somewhere along the line I forked then tried to merge then deleted. Then I forked again, this time from someone else's repo who is working on the same phone, he merged in something or other. It's a mess
