Hi,
and everybody is reading.
This is a steep claim! I agree that nobody reads generated files in
a release tarball, but I am not sure how many other files are actually
read.
Yea, it is. I'd also love to know how effective is the reading in a
release tarball vs a VCS repo. Quality of the reading is also very
important. I simply don't even try to read a tarball, not having the
history makes the understanding very difficult. If I find a piece of
code that seems odd, I would like to `git blame` it and see what was the
reason for the inclusion, who included it and so on.
It's not much, but it's better than nothing. Although, I'd understand if
you told me the history might be misleading, too.
