+# The bundle's pool/ IS committed, deliberately. blueforce-install.sh resolves
+# every pinned package as "<bundle>/pool/<source>" (its lock rows carry
+# "pool/<file>.deb"), so a device that clones the repository needs those files
+# on disk. Excluding them left the installer with an index but no packages and
+# it stopped with "Kilitte yazılı paket depoda yok". The same blobs also live
+# under packages/, which is the intake directory the maintainer commits from;
+# Git LFS stores one object per content hash, so the duplication is a path, not
+# a second copy of the bytes.
