Redmine

In the database table repositories a field named "extra_info" has type "text", which in mysql is limited to 65535 chars. This breaks fetch_changesets command on repositories with a very large amount of branches (git). Actual reason is that is stores only part of the last commit hash or other line (like "!b" for "!binary"), and this causes errors in in fetch_changeset:

$ /usr/local/rvm/bin/redmine_rails runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production

Changing the field type to LONGTEXT fixes the problem.
