Just to clarify: "few Kibibytes" means bandwidth savings of ~95% for the
svntogit cgit pages. And I do think that the patch is valuable but I do
not think that patching an official package to add a feature that was
rejected by upstream is in line with the Arch Linux packaging
guidelines.

Not sure if you read my earlier email on this but there is [1] which can
be used to automate all our cgit customizations (including updating the
copyright information in the footer etc.) We might want to rename that
repository to git.archlinux.org.git if that is the new name.
