Can you expand on this? I've thought partial checkouts are accepted and the user facing part even has been released with 1.7?
- sulam 6y agoThis goes back to 10 years ago now. It’s nice to see some improvement, but 10 years ago there was very little interest in these sorts of problems. The literal response to FB performance tests was “you’re doing it wrong, don’t use a monorepo.” It shouldn’t be a surprise that FB decided to go elsewhere.
- est31 6y agoFair point, years ago the situation was different. Nowadays really large scale git repos like Windows exist, and work by Jonathan Tan and others has made git more compatible with monorepos.
