For example, you would not be able to do this:
git clone salsa:something
cd something
make some straightforward change
git tag # } [1]
git push # }
Instead you would have to download the .origs and so on, and wait
while your machine crunched about unpacking and repacking tarballs,
applying patches, etc.

I'm missing a "and then I test my package to ensure it still works
before
upload" step…
I wonder how someone should test their packages when they do
not build it locally.
And if they do (as they should), the advantages you line
out are simply not there.
