Urgh, you're right... It's also partly due to drm-tip being the last
repo to be updated. I've overlooked that aspect since I had the local
changes to nightly.conf.

I've started to work on that, but it's probably going to take a bit of
time to figure it out, bash isn't really my strong suit.

If anyone is stuck with this, you can get unstuck manually by doing:

cd $DIM_PREFIX/drm-rerere
git checkout rerere-cache
git pull

cd $DIM_PREFIX/kernel
git remote set-url drm ...

There's been reports in private that some didn't get their branch
updated for some time and will have to add the drm/xe repo too:

git remote add drm-xe ssh://git@gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/xe/kernel.git
