Hi, This looks like a good idea to me. Maybe we just have a limited amount of history and branches in Git/Github, so people can work and create pull requests. Nobody wants to create pull request on a very old branch or against a revision years ago.
Maybe Infra can mirror only the last 2 years of trunk and branch_5x?
