Ok, fair enough. Everyone's made some really good
points so let's drop the
idea of dropping our history.
However I think we should continue to discuss ways to
contain the repo size
going forward. That, combined with some aggressive repacking and dropping
of refs/changes/* (when we move to Phabricator) should help get it under
control.
[...]
Just to clarify: refs/changes/* = Gerrit patchsets (minus
the ones referenced as submitted changes)? If so, sure,
they're only scratchpads, but on the other hand they should-
n't affect the size of a default clone that just pulls in
the parents of master's HEAD?
