This is probably tangential to the ongoing DEP-14 and source-only upload discussions
How would people feel if dput was a wrapper around git? This wouldn't imply that maintainers must use Git as their VCS For packages that do use git as the VCS, dput would do a "git tag" and "git push", possibly using branches specifically intended for release. For packages that don't use git as the VCS, a Git repository would be created dynamically without any direct effort by the maintainer. dput would make a git clone behind the scenes, commit the latest source package into the repository and push it. Various other parts of Debian could then use the Git repositories - signed tags instead of signed source packages - the tool for browsing package source in the web browser could always see the source in git - the release team could rely on diffs from the designated git repository instead of debdiff attachments -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
