All, When we end up moving MW core to Phabricator I'd like us to jettison our history. The repo is large and clunky and not conducive to development. It's only going to grow in size unless we do something to cut back on the junk we're carrying around.
This is my ideal Phabby world: mediawiki (no /core, that was always redundant) mediawiki/i18n (as submodule) mediawiki/historical (full history, previous + all mediawiki going forward) If we jettison all our history we can get the repo size down to a 30-35MB which is very nice. Doing it on Gerrit isn't worthwhile because it'd basically break everything. We're gonna be breaking things with the move to Phab...it's then or never if we're going to do this. Being able to stitch with the old history would be nice and I think might be doable with git-replace. If not, I still think it's worth discussing for developer and deployer productivity. Thoughts? -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
