I agree with Rob on this — delete the ‘jar’s from git history, for all the reasons Rob said. If someone wants to attempt to actually *build* an old release, and thus needs the jars, then they are welcome to use ASF SVN archives for that purpose instead, and even then apparently it will be a challenge based on what I’ve read today.
Any way, maybe this will or maybe this won’t even solve the git-svn OOM problem by itself? It’s worth a shot to find out as a trial run; no? Maybe we could ask infra to try as an experiment. If it doesn’t solve the problem then we needn’t belabor this decision at this time — it can be resumed at a future git transitional discussion, which is not the subject matter of the current crisis. bq. I know you won't accept rational arguments. :) Dawid, please, lets not provoke each other with that kind of talk.
