2) Repository partitioning:
There seems to be some consensus that a single CDT repository (at least initially) is preferable to a split repo.
I think it makes sense. Yes, a single repository makes it easier and at 150Mb or so isn't the end of the world. Plus you only need to do it once :-)
Those who just want to peek at the source can do a shallow clone anyway. (git clone --depth 1 will effectively lose history; it also means you won't be able to push back to the repository as well)
At a later date we can carve out portions of the repository into separate smaller repositories preserving history.
Makes sense; git filter-branch is easy to do on clones.
I'm assuming that there's no inadvertently committed binaries etc? Is it worth doing a scan of the repo for known extensions (exe, tar, o, PDF?) to check for content that shouldn't be there?
3) Deleting 'Old' (forever!):
There's old content in the repository which isn't built, tested, nor tagged. Some of this content may have moved to other repositories (e.g. linuxtools / mylyn). We propose to not include this content in the conversion. The bundles involved are:
Including plugins for: Mylyn, cppunit, oprofile, rpm, ffs, android, msw, csharp, pdom
Makes sense to me.
