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.
Without mentioning that any scm would probably explode handling such big amount of binary files, did this idea only concern the mirror synchronization part ? who would choose to retrieve an older version of a package ? and how would you do that ? (anyway the first point makes any discussion worthless).
