Hey, I would like to inform everyone that there is a review <https://reviews.apache.org/r/37666/> out that imports the java code we depend on from Twitter Commons into our tree. The current approach of the import is a large patch on RB with a description that explains the origin of the code. The benefits of this approach ensures our commit history remains linear and easy to bisect. However this approach means that our repo will not contain the history of these files. Currently I believe there is no value in preserving history since we do not intend to maintain this code for a long time and the history of files is easily available on github.
Please +1 or -1 this approach. -- Zameer Manji
