We're going to have lots of branches and merges. |

In terms of repo size, we were going to be slicing the history into two |
| 13 |
parts: |
| 14 |
- fresh start |
| 15 |
- historical |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The 'fresh start' is what new commits will go on top of, and ranges |
| 18 |
40-120MB depending on what git window compression is used. |
| 19 |
The historical is ~1.2GB, and if you want a continuous history, you just |
| 20 |
use graft to merge the two. |
