This is an automated email from the git hooks/post-receive script.
dgoulet pushed a commit to branch main
in repository tor.
commit 7ce3edaee0eaf93f2f8fa60b859cf49118b9523b
Author: David Goulet <dgoulet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

rephist: Introduce a fraction and period for overload onionskin
This code was heavily reused from the previous DNS timeout work done in
ticket #40491 that was removed afterall from our code.
Closes #40560
