[aur-general] AUR 4.0 and existing git repositories
Hi,
I've been reading about the upcoming AUR 4.0 with git repositories for each package (which is very much welcome for a variety of reasons!).
I'm curious how existing packages will be handled. I already keep git repos for my packages, so it would be nice to be able to import those directly for two reasons:
* To share the existing history with everyone else. * If packages are imported as-are into new repositories, then I can't push the existing repos. I'll need to create clone the AUR-generated ones, and work on those, loosing all my history.
Has this sort of scenario been given any thought?
Cheers and thanks for the hard work!

Ah, thanks, yes, that covers it.
Will all AUR mantainers get a notification when this migration period starts? I kinda don't follow aur-general too closely, generally, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
