Depends how you look at it. If your goal is to be able to actually
build ancient versions then dropping those JARs is going to be a real
pain. I think they should stay. Like I said, git is smart enough to
omit objects that aren't referenced from the cloned branch. The
conversion from SVN would have to be smart, but it's all doable.

No, not really. There is a dozen ways to do it without cloning the
full repo (provide a patch with --depth 1, clone a selective branch,
etc.). We've had that discussion before. I know you won't accept
rational arguments. :)
