Unable to easily review changes

[pmenzel]

Unfortunately, pkg-scripts have now the same problem as MarIuX’ bee files some years ago, causing me to push for a switch to be0 files. Git and GitHub make it really hard to review copied and changed files. So you cannot easily see the diff. This discourages review. An ugly workaround would be, if things are copied, to add a copy commit to the top of the branch. But GitHub still makes it hard to profit from that in the Files changed view.

Yes. Annoying. But we can't got the .be0 route, as - unlike with bee - we accumulate the packages....

I think, copy commits would be a good thing. We are not going to bisect here :-) But I guess, people will forget to do the copy commits.

We could rewrite the history.... Even now for all previous copies....
