And that's my cue to point out that while Gitpan isn't updated,
you can still use Git::CPAN::Patch, the module Gitpan is using under
the hood.
# create git repo seeded with the module's CPAN latest version
$ git cpan-init Foo::Bar
# create git repo seeded with the full BackPAN history of the
# module
$ git backpan-init Foo::Bar
And, yes, one of the requested new feature for G:C:P is to be able to grok
a distribution's META.yml and clone its clone repo if it already exist.
It's something I'll work on as soon as I have some tuits. :-)
Joy,
