Both packages.git and community.git appear to be stuck again, with no updates for the past day.

packages.git looks fine to me now, but community.git is still stuck.

I killed the lock file again, and now the log spits this out. Evangelos, what's going on here?

Thomas, thanks for looking into it; I fixed the Git repo just now. Generally it's not safe to remove the lock file without identifying the reason the script failed. It's not a very robust script and the Git repo can be left in an inconsistent state which would require manual rollback of several package branches. I pushed a change that should make it fail significantly less (gerolde being unreachable for pushing has been the cause of failure 2-3 times now): https://github.com/foutrelis/arch-svntogit/commit/ecc3090
