[Announcement] Moving repos to mono-repos

[mosuem]

To ease the maintenance of the dart-lang/ repositories, we are currently moving some of them into monorepos.

Our thematically grouped monorepos are:

• build
• test
• native
• http
• webdev
• i18n

And the publisher grouped, more miscellaneous are:

• tools
• core
• (labs to be established)

Progress tracker:

• [x] coverage -> tools
• [x] oauth2 -> tools
• [x] source_map_stack_trace -> tools
• [x] mime -> tools
• [ ] crypto -> core

Please report any issues you are facing with this here.

Summary: This issue is an announcement about the Dart team moving some of their repositories into monorepos for easier maintenance. The announcement lists the repositories that are being moved and requests users to report any issues they encounter.

If possible, please ensure that existing issues (at least open issues) and pull requests are migrated along with the code.

That's likely non-trivial, also because of references from other issues, potentially in other repositories. Rewriting all of those ... should be possible. If GitHub can show "Referenced from" in an issue, we should be able to find that issue and rewrite it after copying the original issue to a new location. PRs likely need something tricky too. Or maybe just a final merge commit. (May still risk including the entire old repository in the new repository, as the parent of a PR commit.)

Yes, that is being done. This is a Github feature, it should work well. The PRs referenced in commit messages are also rewritten to reference the correct PRs from the old repo.
