Yes, that’s why I’ve said it was up to @tpowa. ;)

Well, I’ve often seen a bit of discrepancy between svntogit logs and the
repos. Like a package to be updated on my system, but when I go to see
what was changed, nothing… I admit not being and expert in archweb

remember there was a discussion about this one day on a ML even if can’t
find that again right now.
