[PRQ#46360] Deletion Request for git-vfs
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for git-vfs [2]: Abandoned package from 2022-01 for Microsoft's fork of Git-for- Windows. Flagged OOD since 2023-04. I don't see why this would be useful on Linux. Repo's description also says it contains "Microsoft-specific patches". I recommend deletion, based on the above mentioned facts.

I should update it, but the Microsoft patches are not for Windows, but specifically git vfs. Those patches make git work better with large monorepos https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_File_System_for_Git On Wed, Aug 16, 2023, 3:20 PM <notify@aur.archlinux.org> wrote:

Request #46360 has been Rejected by MarsSeed [1]: Revoking the deletion request, please kindly disregard. Maintainer @georgyo has reached out to me and explained that this fork is indeed useful on Linux as well. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/
