Ineiev,

I am trying to understand the large change wave that has been
committed in the last few days.

I made a commit on Feb 8 a894e1 and for example between then and now I
see many commits resulting in this large diff.

    $ git diff a894e1..HEAD | diffstat | tail -n1
     386 files changed, 56532 insertions(+), 16683 deletions(-)

That is a very large number of changes in a very short period of time!
This has only been in the last few days.  Just on the surface I see
the following confusing things.

* All of the .gitignore files have been deleted.  This causes a large
  amount of noise files to appear in the git status.  What's the plan
  for this?

* The local development router has been removed.  This was being used
  to run a local sandbox.

* The script that was used to launch the local development router has
  been removed.

On the frontend servers the files being served had been in version
control at /opt/savannah/savane.  Those files are still there but the
version control has not been updated in a very long time.  Yet I think
as recently as last month when the fundraising banner was removed that
it had been updated.

I see that apparently on Jan 31 this has been changed to serve files
from /opt/savane/share/savane/frontend/php as what appears to be an
installed files area.  But I can't find any indication of where those
files are being installed from or from what version.

When I look through the version control commit message history I see a
lot of very confusing things that indicate to me that the timeline was
committed and then reset and then re-committed differently.
Specifically for example the addition and removal of the fundraising
banner appears not to correspond to when this actually happened.

What's happening?

Bob
