Call for Discussion: New Project: Skara -- sample repacked git repo of JDK 12 sources now available

[joe darcy]

PPS A repacked sample git repo, as alluded to earlier in this thread and 
as discussed in the Skara presentation from the OpenJDK Committers’ 
Workshop, equivalent to a recent snapshot of JDK 12 is available for 
browsing and cloning from:

     git clone https://github.com/Project-Skara/jdk.git
     https://github.com/Project-Skara/jdk

This import preserves the contents and formatting of commit messages. 
We've had some initial discussions on how rewriting the exiting JDK 
commit messages could allow better integration with git-based tooling.

This git repo is a sample to allow inspection and experimentation. It is 
not meant to imply a commitment to a particular SCM or hosting provider.

Enjoy,

-Joe
