I agree with everyone else that's said it. This comes up often enough but no one ever has a good workflow that works. I have seen nothing proposed in this thread that is good. The ONLY thing gained is "oh neat, it's in git". We lose quite a bit, especially in the branch-ing department.
It seems like this is a "solution" that's looking for a problem to happen. As far as I know, working with svn isn't a big deal and isn't a problem.
The biggest advantage of a git-based approach is that imho it becomes much easier to - as an end user - maintain forks of packages. you could just have a clone with your own packages and merge in changes as ABS gets updated. with the current ABS, i always need to manually apply & commit the changes from abs into my customized packages. but if i'm missing something, please enlighten me.
