My question then would be, if we used quilt and only changed stuff in
debian/, what's the advantage of having the whole source code in git,
instead of just debian/ as we do in SVN? The disadvantage is huge if
you need to download many packages at once, while with just debian/
it's quite quick. Upstream's source code won't be modified directly in
this layout, so why not just keep having a tarball out of the
versioning system as we do with SVN?
Does anyone know how other Teams manage their git repositories? anyone
with experience in this?
