Remove protobuf source from repository (or whatever is making cloning slow) #39

Closed ariddell closed 8 years ago

ariddell commented 8 years ago

Protostan should be very fast to clone (without submodules). Not sure how best to fix this. It should be fixed though.

The git call for removing everything matching PATTERN is something like: 

git filter-branch --force --index-filter \
    'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch PATTERN' \
      --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all

There's another snippet that you can call to get a sorted list of big objects/etc.... so it takes a little while to figure out what's responsible. I can look into it in a few days if you don't get to it...

It'll screw up branches but I think the changes can be done on develop and merged back into branches. It's not like we have a lot of people using this at the moment.

I think it'll speed up testing a lot. I wouldn't mind if you just reset history after you merge your branches.

I did this locally and I think I got it right... it's surprisingly hard to flush out all the packed files.

ariddell commented 8 years ago

ok! Feel free to force push.

sakrejda commented 8 years ago

I'm going to finish the writers branch before I do this. Working on it now...

sakrejda commented 8 years ago

Done.
