[PRQ#49560] Deletion Request for git-fc
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for git-fc [2]: Hostile, personal fork of git, which resets the versioning and is at v0.1 right now. It is also 1812 commits behind upstream git as of this day. It means this is not a feature-equivalent drop-in for repo's git package, nor for AUR/git-git. The pkgdesc is bogus ("Fork of Junio's git for users"). (Junio C Hamano is upstream Git's chief maintainer/developer since 2005. It is misleading to use his name in the pkgdesc, as this has nothing to do with him, nor with his personal GitHub fork of git, published for technical purposes, not for main development.) Purportedly, this fork only wants to add a new convenience subcommand, 'git stage'. There are upstream-friendly ways of doing that without forking. Many third-party git addons have been created that work with upstream git and expose new, custom git subcommands. There are no AUR comments and this has only 1 vote. AUR packages have to be useful to more than a few users. This particular one does not qualify. Best to delete.
