Not worth it.<br class=""></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>The effort is trivial with GIT. It is a couple of commands per extracted piece. There is cruft in the repository like hlvm (mine) and the unfinished java compiler, neither of which have been touched in 7 years. Do we really need to keep that legacy in the main repository or is it better spun off to a separate one? Similarly, stacker, sample, llvm-gcc, and probably several others should be in their own repositories. I think smaller repositories make LLVM seem less formidable and should encourage further adoption and contribution. </div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class="">

There are various searchable archives of the mailing list online.
In practice, I find google does a really good job of finding
relevant discussion threads.<br class=""></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>I find that it doesn’t: searching for “git” in llvm-dev yields 1.8 million results. Trying to sort through the discussions it yields is tedious.<br class=""></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
