I wonder if we had people clone arcanist and libphutil from us instead of upstream would help. Then we could maintain the version deployed and not have people accidentally pulling a version of arcanist/libphutil that won't work with our older Phab.

Oh, that's what @mmodell said on the child task. This is more about *ensuring* these branches are correct.

The problem I ran into was that the default branch is "master" but in our clones the "stable" branch is the one that you need to use. My git fu is weak so I don't know the generic equivalent of the process that GitHub uses to allow changing the default branch.

@bd808: I fixed phabricator's copy of these repos, so rPHAB, rARC and rPHUTIL should all check out the correct branches by default. I'm not sure how to do this for gerrit but we should probably just host these in phabricator anyway.

I'm guessing you just use git symbolic-ref? I can do the same with Gerrit. I'm also fine with archiving them there and using 100% Phab4Phab.

Yeah I just updated the HEAD ref.
