If the git history is inevitably going to
have thousands of commits changing little script
compliance things, then I would suggest they're
all made in one go. Instead of having hundreds of
noise commits in little chunks clustered over many
months, we'd just have them all in one chunk,
where someone can skip over them when reading the
history. Pushing thousands of commits in one go
is not an issue for git, in my experience. Unless
you have an expensive automation system that will
have to run once for each commit, of course.
