Migrate MediaWiki deploys to scap3 (part 1) edit

Use a unified git repo for MW deploys edit

  • Bug with scap 3.3.1 (old unused feature) found in beta.
  • Will probably land fixes, bump version, and finally get a new version (3.4.0 -- as antoine pointed out)
  • Want to land Flatten MedaWiki deploy into a single git repo this week
    • Watch on beta cluster over the holiday
    • cut new release and push to production after

Assess new directory structure and how it will interplay with MW edit

Interplay with MW should be minimal at this point.

When we move to either:

  • git transport
  • rsync of the .git directory

Space becomes a concern; however, git already optimizes for this use-case; it would take a lot of changes before the space impact becomes untenable.

History outweighs the benefits.

Stretch goal: Replace rsync with git syncing edit

Nope. not this quarter.
