@samir in truth: actually, gradle was installed quite a while ago, but there's been so many other boilerplate files related to Android that I've been trying to remove from VCS. the gradle wrapper is the last big one left, and this time… there shall be no mercy

@hikari BURN IT ALL.

Sucks it’s gonna live in your version history forever, but at least you don’t have to worry about it growing as you upgrade.

@samir oh, I have a plan for that! I've been holding off on merging this branch forever because of all the garbage it introduced. I'm soon going to have it fully cleaned up, and then I'll squash-merge it. there'll be a tag for people who want the gory details, but anyone who just pulls down trunk will never have to sully their .git with it :)

@hikari That sounds great! But won’t the tag mean that `git fetch` gets it anyway? Or is that just branches?
