Every scaled org does this for good reason. Meta created sappling, Google created piper, AOSP built repo/gerrit. depth==1 should be the default and everyone should be aware of who’s working on what well before any conflict gets pushed. TFS and Perforce knew this 20+ years ago
New on our Engineering blog: Creating in-house source control. In May, we merged around 2,500 code changes per day. In September, we merged more than 30,000 per day. As a result, we became bottlenecked by developer infrastructure built for human (rather than agent) scale.

When you try to sell your convertible, every prospective buyer asks the same question: “Does the roof work?”

“0x31 VSW 4.1, Eingang an Masse” said the diagnostics software. Disassembled half the car before I found this severed wire at the most obvious elbow in the roof. Harness sleeve looked mint from the outside

Hey GitHub have you ever considered that maybe I don’t want you to auto-collapse the +145 / -55 change to the most critical, high-churn source file in the codebase?
