Hi all,
So something we have been thinking about is how best to handle history
when doing the split, there were three obvious options that we looked at:
1) Copy the repo for each split, and just delete what is no longer needed.
This means that you have full history, however each repo is 130Mb+, so
once you have 4 or more repos you are looking at a very large amount of
data to checkout a full WF server, which will probably put off potential
contributors.
FYI wrt #1
git clone --reference can help reducing size for people that clone more
of the repos.
I agree though that perhaps #3 would be simpler and would work for most
of the people.
