Re: so you want to migrate DPMT/PAPT to git? look at what pgk-perl did!

Two questions: is any of that applicable to Python? Is any of that precluded
by a migration to git and git-dpm? Meaning, sure that sounds like a cool tool
to have but we'd probably have to adapt the Perl tool or write our own
Pythonic one, and I don't get how that in any way influences our switch to
git.
