Is it possible?
advantage: 1 The mirrors do not need download the total new pkgs if it just updated several files. 2 old versions of package can be retrived. 3 GIT is fast. 4 It seems cool!
dis-advantage: 1 It is a torture of GIT 2 Huge of works to be done.
I don't think git is suitable for maintaining large amounts of binary files. The diffs probably won't be very efficient, so storage size will explode. And - all mirrors use rsync (they also mirror other stuff besides Arch), we can't just tell them all to do it differently.
