+- manually editing the commit variable in noir/noir-repo/.gitrepo:
   this needs to exist in the branch we push to, and have the same content as our base. This is similar to submodules, except instead of pointing to the final state of the module, it points to the last commit we have sync'd from, for purposes of commit replay. This can be fixed to match the commit in master after merges.
-- manually editing the parent variable in noir/.gitrepo: this is the parent of the last sync commit on aztec side. If you get errors with a commit not being found in the upstream repo, and the commit mentioned is not the commit variable above, it might indicate this is somehow incorrect. This can happen when commit content is ported without its history, e.g. squashes
