The decision of whether we can address all the pitfalls of doing exploded trees by designing the SCM repo correctly is not. This meeting is to identify pitfalls and features so we can try and design an exploded tree repo that addresses all the concerns. That gives us a better basis for deciding whether it's worthwhile to implement it in our next generation repository. If we run up against seven huge concerns that we just can't work around, then it will be clear we need to abandon the idea. If we manage to solve all of them, then it would be strongly recommended to do it. If we can't solve one or two minor concerns but manage to solve the rest then we'll have an accurate list of pros and cons to present about exploded trees. -Toshio
