        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.
