Pants

_pretend twitter commons is healthy_ and syncs regularly

I'd recommend that approach, its a world of hurt to have sync-mismatch

I am going to take the loose source advice for now, sounds like I can revisit consumption as needed

For example, at least in the past finagle had lots of build breaks due to sync mismatch - I think

<@U053HNE90>: so ```./pants --config-override=pants.ini.isolated test contrib/spindle/tests/::``` fails in master due to an undeclared dep

I have been playing with sapling..at one point you might get some questions about differential support

For 1 of the twitter monorepos it was fast enough to not care

<@U053HNE90>: go be on vacation. I've got this.

~5 minutes on non-spinning disk for alll of history from 2009 iirc

k - for me that was the only motivating factor for differential

I have a workflow I am happy with and until I hit issues I will probably use as is.

<@U051221NF>: oh! ... running with global gives me: ```                   Missing BUILD dependency .pants.d/gen/spindle/scala_record:contrib.spindle.tests.thrift.org.pantsbuild.contrib.spindle.tvlisting-scala -&gt; contrib/spindle/3rdparty:rogue because:
                       .pants.d/gen/spindle/scala_record/org/pantsbuild/contrib/spindle/tvlisting.scala uses .pants.d/ivy/jars/org.scalaj/scalaj-collection_2.10/jars/scalaj-collection_2.10-1.5.jar```

ok - cool, happy to field questions if you have them

that was my 1st python code and was modeled after ... GitPython?

Which is clear now uses some non-standard style

thanks john,I have hacked on it some already. Yeah, gitPython, their docs are hard to follow in spots

but it doesn't attempt to report the problem as a missing dep?
