Okay, I wasn't intending to imply this (and I was actually testing on
a pilot set of about 200 packages). My point was that we want one git
repository per source package, and not one git repository for all
source packages.
I think the consensus at the meeting was that we need PET 2 in place
(with support for both svn and git repositories), so that we can
consider an incremental migration.
