Minor discrepancies between subfolder csvs and master sheet about rdatasets HOT 4 CLOSED

Ah, also, there's an entry for hdma and hmda both from Ecdat and both seemingly identical descriptions (?) and docs.

from rdatasets.

Update: DAAG contains both a head.injury.csv and a headInjury.csv --- which may be identical? not sure.

Thanks for the report. Glad the website is useful!

I looked at a few of these and my best guess is this:

1. My script never calls git rm on anything, so datasets stay there forever. This is important in case someone links to the URL in one of their scripts.
2. However, the main sheet index is created every time I run the script, and that's based on what is currently available in the packages. I think that also makes sense: If a package maintainer removes a dataset, I may still want to keep permanent links to protect users, but it's probably "polite" to not advertise the dataset anymore.

The few datasets I checked didn't seem to be available in their packages anymore. And in the head.injury case, the DAAG changelog says it was a duplicate and was removed:

https://github.com/cran/DAAG/blob/master/NEWS#L27

Again, I didn't check them all, but my provisional conclusion is that things are probably fine as-is. Makes sense?

Sounds good, thanks very much.
