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. > this bloats the repository, makes clone slow for someone new who just > wants to check it out to work on it, etc. 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. :) D. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
