[Adium-devl] Community versus ego?

[Ofri Wolfus]

Which makes me say this out loud for the first time - our svn history  
is kinda long and had suffered a lot of server/system moves. Seeing  
how external tools and sometimes even svn itself choke with that  
history makes me think we don't really need it. It also takes a fair  
amount of files on the server to store, which makes the corruption  
probability much higher. With a smaller history it'll also be much  
easier for people to use other tools rather than svn if they wish to  
(like svk and git-svn).

So what I'm suggesting is to start a new clean repository and import  
to it only the last 2000 revisions. Then we can have a healthier  
history, and properly archive and backup the old one. The only  
downside I can think of is we'll all have to get new fresh checkouts  
of the new repo, but it's not so bad and really worth it IMHO.
