There are more than a few reasons for this:

1) The big repository made svn slow - it also makes Git slow (yes, its that big!)

1) It allow us to see which exact svn commit a change is from and can use that to look in the svn repo in case we want to explore for possible bad migration data.

# Applying pull-requests without using Github pull request button

Basically you just need to edit .gitconfig to read

[alias]
apply-pr = "!f() { curl $1.patch | git am --signoff; }; f"

Or you can use the git config alias command

git config --global alias.apply-pr "!f() { curl $1.patch | git am --signoff; }; f"

Then you can just run

git apply-pr https://github.com/someuser/somerepo/pull/id
