Hi Wes, We started looking at the documentation for git filter-branch and it recommends not to use it. It states that "git-filter-branch is riddled with gotchas resulting in various ways to easily corrupt repos or end up with a mess worse than what you started with:". I guess we can decide to run this at any time, so let's discuss this more once we have the repos building?
A bare clone of Arrow seems to be about 81 MB (the .git directory, not the checkout). That's not huge, but not tiny either. In the end it's your decision, since the impacted people are the Rust contributors.
As for `git filter-branch`, I have no experience with it, but if you run it just once and check that the repo and its contents are still valid afterwards (for example `git fsck --full`), you should be fine.
Regards Antoine.
