The symlink representation is slightly ambiguous, so not necessarily
very useful.
Additionally, it made directory-flat bundles differ from a non-recursive
'git clone' checkout, which confuses Guix and potentially other tools.

We may revisit this in the future, eg. by adding a dotfile in the
directory or metadata at the root.

History

Software Heritage - Vault

User-facing service that allows to retrieve parts of the archive as self-contained bundles (e.g., individual releases, entire repository snapshots, etc.) The creation of a bundle is called "cooking" a bundle.

Architecture

The vault is made of two main parts:

  1. a stateful RPC server called the backend
  2. Celery tasks, called cookers
