No, we'll keep the SD servers around for a while for servicing older products. We also have a "breadcrumbing" system that lets an engineer follow a file's history back from Git to the old system.

Was importing the complete history tried during the development? This is very interesting. The git history will grow at break-neck speed and will reach similar size soon enough. Is this to delay the inevitable tech wrangling for dealing with terabyte histories or were there issues with the import/sync?

Or maybe it was just the initial repo setup used for alpha testing that got promoted to production :)
