master/develop have different coverages? about url

[alandefreitas]

This seems to be happening because codecov uses only the commit hash to refer to each commit. The commit is associated with a branch the first time it appears and this association is permanent after that.

For instance, the the last commit to master (d1e0e11) triggered this workflow to upload the coverage data. The workflow gives us this link without any reference to master:

[2022-03-28T18:57:12.815Z] ['info'] https://codecov.io/github/CPPAlliance/url/commit/d1e0e11ac97adf0efd4352a34d3e143c31004ab1

If we go to the link, we see this commit hash is associated with the develop branch, which is the branch associated with this hash the first time codecov saw it.

When we look at the list of branches, codecov considers that the last commit to master was 2 years ago.

The most recent commit covecov associated with master was "Update build scripts", which is probably the lastest commit that didn't go through develop before.

I did a little research and I'm quite sure they already know about it. There's even a tutorial related to this on their website (I don't have the link right now). But I'll ask if there's some workaround or something we could do.

I'm not losing sleep over this.
