I fail to understand the rationale for this. It doesn't make any sense to
me. The pkgdb simply doesn't have any knowledge about what is right or
wrong.
Imagine you were going to branch a package for EPEL5. If you are going to
populate it from master, the likelihood, this package will be incompatible
to EPEL5 is almost 100%.
I think you mis-read or mis-understood Till's proposal. Basically Till is
proposing that we point every new branch to the commit that created the git
repo, for example for perl-MooX-Types-MooseLike-Numeric that you maintain it
would be:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/perl-MooX-Types-MooseLike-Numeric.git/...
But looking through other repo, Till, it seems that older repo do not have this
commit.
