llvm dev - Feb 2019 - Accidental new top-level monorepo directory

https://reviews.llvm.org/rL353906 introduced (presumably accidentally) the
"b" top-level directory to the monorepo. The files should be moved to
their proper location, but I'm also wondering if there's any way to
prevent accidental top-level additions like this.

Thanks,
Shoaib

Hi Shoaib,

Thanks for pointing this out. I had not idea this happened or that it was
even possible to create top level directories in the monorepo. I assumed
everything went through git-svn as it did in the past? I removed the
directory again in r353913. I agree that it would be great if this wasn't
possible at all.

Thanks,
Jonas

I can look into ways to prevent this from happening.  Can you
give me a little more information on what happened? Did you
add the 'b' directory while doing development and then accidentally
commit it or did the monorepo script add it?  Did you commit using
git or svn?

Thanks,
Tom
