I understand that we have a problem trying to filter out all these
commits. What if we restrict ourself to just opening src/*, rest of it
is not very interesting anyway. If it's a lot, maybe just
corelib/gui/sql/svg/xml or similar. Just handpick modules and increase
them as we go.

 Note that I don't agree with removing commit messages; we should just
change them to remove any sensitive info. Without commit messages, the
history is not very useful.

For the sake of argument (so feel free to ignore this :-) ), if it's
around 50k commits and we get say 50 trolls to sign up for this
project, it's about 1000 commits to review each. If they review 10
commits a day, we can open the repo, in say, 5 months ;) That's not
too bad, is it. Of course, more the trolls who can volunteer, the
lesser the time and less work for all.

For curiosity sake, how did you guys handle scanning of all the files
when the git repo was opened? Or even the tests/*?

Girish
