The problem is that this files and changes will be imported on future migration PRs on future branches (some files are inside the module folder). This is a decision that will impact the future of all OCA users. So this is something that will not disappear with time. Letting it go because we think it will disappear is a mistake.

Change nothing is the easiest choice but we all know that this will not disappear and is a bad choice. We also are discussing this, but I think that there is not so many repositories affected.

I think the benefits are bigger than the cons

I think the opposite.

Benefits:
  1. Save disk space in case you're either not cloning with --depth 1, or you're going to do a git gc after all the manual work that will mean updating all your local clones.
  2. Save bandwith space under similar conditions.
Potential problems:
  1. Break your lock files.
  2. Need to rebase almost every open PR against those branches.
  3. Inclusion of unwanted commits (that include those wonderful 30MB files) in more PRs.
  4. Disturbing many developers.
  5. Making oca-port unable to detect relationship between commits and PRs.
  6. Manual work involving the repo admins and almost all OCA developers.
  7. Things I don't imagine right now.
Definitely not worth it. One day we'll stop using those branches (hopefully in about 3-5 years) and we won't care about those few extra MBs.
