I assumed we want ids for the umbrella repository to ease bisection and having something to print as a version identifier, but do we really need them for the other repositories?
I also still don't see why `git rev-list --count --all` does not work. Sure the count is only per branch, but why would ever need to have continuous numbering between say a 3.8.XX revision and a 3.9.XX branch... - Matthias > On Jun 30, 2016, at 9:33 AM, Reid Kleckner via llvm-dev > <llvm-...@lists.llvm.org> wrote: > > On Thu, Jun 30, 2016 at 9:16 AM, James Y Knight via lldb-dev > <lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org <mailto:lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org>> wrote: > I don't think we should do any of that.
