All,

Reading about the changes on archlinux.org and asp will stop working with svn2git going away. pkgctl-repo-clone is the replamement.

  It has only 3 options:

    -m, --maintainer NAME

    --universe

    -h, --help

Does pkgctl-repo-clone simply fetch the latest commit, or does it fetch the history as well? 'asp export' provided only the latest commit without the prior versions history, etc. Can pkgctl-repo-clone do that?

https://man.archlinux.org/man/pkgctl-repo-clone.1.en (4/23/2023) is silent on that aspect.


https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/devtools/-/blob/master/src/lib/repo.sh for pkgctl-repo is also silent on whether clone is the latest commit or full-clone with full git history, e.g.

        COMMANDS
            clone          Clone a package repository

https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/devtools/-/blob/master/src/lib/repo/clone.sh is just the 3 options we started with.

I would think it would work like 'asp export' but I'd like to confirm with those that know better than I.
