In our large mono repos, we > have to support missing commits and trees as well. Can you elaborate on this? This is the first time I've heard about it. Are you omitting commits and trees today?

In that spirit, I've created https://github.com/jrn/git-large-repositories so we have a shared place to keep track of pointers to the mailing list, etc. I'll push the links mentioned to there now. I'm also usually available on IRC (channel #git-devel on freenode, username jrnieder) for real-time conversation. Logs are available at http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_logs/git-devel. You can prepend a message with [off] if you want it not to be logged. Thanks, Jonathan
