[...] Lukas objected to the move to the community version of cgit because we have a patch to remove the branch switch for svntogit tree in order to save few Kibibytes. This patch was rejected by upstream and he thinks it's not a valuable solution to add it to the community package.
Just to clarify: "few Kibibytes" means bandwidth savings of ~95% for the svntogit cgit pages. And I do think that the patch is valuable but I do not think that patching an official package to add a feature that was rejected by upstream is in line with the Arch Linux packaging guidelines.
So, I will move back to the version we maintain in order to move forward to the migration. [...]
Not sure if you read my earlier email on this but there is [1] which can be used to automate all our cgit customizations (including updating the copyright information in the footer etc.) We might want to rename that repository to git.archlinux.org.git if that is the new name.
