Are shifts this long still common practice in US or RU space programs?
The code says how. The commit says what, and where the edited lines were/are in which files, when the edits were committed, and who committed them.
The comments should say why, iff a why is needed.
Imagine briefly a market in which APPL and TSLA common stock were subject to a fixed price ratio. Crazy idea, yes? But a 16:1 ratio for silver:gold makes just as much sense from a market point of view.
For the consumer, investor, banker, a fixed ratio is a nice convenience, but if the supply or demand for either gold or silver were to change significantly, opportunities for arbitrage could become very profitable. Now think of the California gold rush, the Comstock silver lode, and the hundreds of other mining booms between 1850 and 1896.
Who benefited, and who paid? Were WJ Bryan and other orators and politicians champions of the masses or tools of the robber barons?
Or approximately as much as the assumer.
As a practical matter, it may also be easier to guard and manage prisoners who are busy and tired from work, rather than idle and restless. For a detailed view of the late-war and early post-war years, I can suggest: _Savage Continent_, by Keith Lowe - https://www.npr.org/2013/07/24/204538728/after-wwii-europe-w...
That sounds similar, but is significantly different, and can be a major pain when dealing with people or businesses that believe the myth, and try to send important paperwork to a physical address, which may end up in our P.o. box if the USPS person handling it recognizes the name and can match it to a box number.
Putting both the physical and P.o. box addresses into an address block, in that order, works well, but then shippers can balk at finding a box number. (see also “Falsehoods programmers believe about addresses, etc.”)

Before refrigeration, meat animals might be kept alive as long as there was stored fodder to feed them, or slaughtered when the weather turned colder, or slaughtered when time and other tasks allowed for preserving meat by salting or sausage-making.
So, think of this as an end-of-harvest status report on when the crown court can expect to start getting sides of bacon delivered, and how many of them.
Even trying to find specific app from a specific vendor, while being sure to not get some lookalike evil clone from J. Random Hacker can be challenging.
There also appear to be a number of state/regional groups. Decide if your near-term goals are a) a safe running car b) a clean looking unrestored car c) restoration/concours with a big budget and then try to connect with a retired enthusiast who has plenty of spare time and a willingness to share info and advice. Safe travels.
ps. Everything jacquesm wrote, plus grasp the crank gently with your thumb still next to your index finger, not around and on the other side of the crank. Avoids a broken thumb on backfire.
The salesman wants to call for a tow truck, the engineer wants to try to fix the brakes, but the programmer says: “No, first we should drive back up and confirm that we can reproduce the issue.”
The really interesting changes will be in the ports on the US Eastern seaboard which planned to take advantage of the super-panamax cargo ships dimensioned for the new channel at Panama.
