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

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Hi,
just for fun, I put together a small script which performs a shallow and 
sparse clone of the langtools sub-parts of the JDK repo (it is sometimes 
very handy to be able to work on a subset of the JDK, to minimize clone 
time and disk space).

The script is here:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mcimadamore/misc/lt.clone-langtools.sh

Depending on whether the 'depth ' option is specified or not (and how 
big it is), the overall size of the repo goes from ~200M (with depth = 
1) to ~350M (without depth - e.g. no shallow clone).

Cheers
Maurizio
