I didn't say it is wrong to record a tree with a single file (allow-ref) in a commit that is pointed by the ci-config ref. I would have expected you to create such a commit in an otherwise empty repository, and push into your fork of Git at GitHub. That way, you won't have to checkout and/or refresh the index all of the 3800+ files. > I wonder whether the "git rm -rf ." makes that block sounds horrible? > If that is the case, we can use the experimental git-switch(1) > instead, it's doing more-or-less the same (or is it the same?) with > "git checkout --orphan" and "git rm -rf ." That does not change anything, as abuse of your primary repository is what offends me.
