I've just noticed that our consumer contracts are being committed to version control. This seems like a bad idea -- when someone deletes or renames a contract, since the change is merged to the contract file, we never get rid of the old contract. I took a look through the docs and can't find anything about this one way or the other (I might have missed something though!) so I just wanted to ask here before I remove them from version control, to make sure I'm not doing something silly . . .

Yep, usually no need to check them in I'd you have a broker. It can be helpful in some cases (e.g. if used as stubs)

👍 great, thanks 😄

Pact could probably call out to git and warn if this has happened. Not everyone uses git, but most do, and it would be a nice warning for those who are.
