Hi Hadrian, I don't think there's any need to split the repository (although I've no strong opinions on this, if someone else has an idea).
However there has been a long-standing issue with our repository's history - in the dim and distant past, binary artifacts of Tomcat etc. used for testing were committed to the repository. These are long gone, but they still exist in the git history, and everybody is forced to clone these large artifacts. Could we use the graduation migration as an opportunity to rewrite the git history to permanently remove these large artifacts? It'd result in a much quicker clone of the repo for new contributors to Brooklyn. Richard.
