So if somebody accidentally commits customer data to the monorepo, just burn down the whole company and start over?
- leethargo 4y agoI'm guessing you can still go back in time and just "forget" what came after wards, by using backups of the repo file.
- sgbeal 4y ago> So if somebody accidentally commits customer data to the monorepo First, you use that as a "teaching opportunity" to educate that someone about why doing so is Bad for Business. Secondly, you "shun" the artifact(s) in question. Since shunning burns holes in the project history (DAG and blockchain), we (in the fossil project) invariably advise against going so unless it's absolutely necessary (publishing custom data being an example of "necessary"). There's a major semantic difference between deleting content "just to cleanup the history" vs. "to eliminate legal liability." > , just burn down the whole company and start over? If you prefer that approach then have at it.
