Since bug 19474 we have a build toll for css and can build minified or readable versions, we shoudl integrate this into the release pipeline so developers can commit only the readable version. From bug 19474: Could we imagine to have a staff-global.css and staff-global.min.css It would depend on the dev_install config flag, devs will use .css whereas production installations will use .min.css The .min.css would be generated only on releasing (and will avoid to pollute the git log).
I believe we have taken care of this now - please re-open if I am mistaken!
