Well some data: I personally do, Justin does as well, and Chandler is in between as I understood it (he has a bunch of uncommitted work-in-progress in the split-repo struct that needs to be carried over IIUC).

And since I’m using it, and I’m not alone, I can’t agree that this is not relevant.
If you want me to document it, just so that you’ll consider it relevant, I can put together a quick patch. But I doubt that this was your intent with this sentence :)

(The not documented argument came up already a few weeks ago, I think should have documented it at that time to leave this behind us).
