So you'd move to mirroring upstream git repositories? I personally wouldn't want to do that for my packages ... I like the current workflow with uploading the official tarballs to the fedora lookaside cache - it feels like a cleaner solution than effectively light-forking basically every open source project in existence ... Additionally, what's the effect on disk usage? git repositories can get quite large.
