Is there a way to just copy a repo (without setting the old one r/o)?
It can be done by creating a new repository and pushing to it. The only
thing which cannot be copied this way are auto- tags and RA- branches.
But if there is a demand for full copy I can add such a functionality.
I just didn't expect that it would be needed.
Resurrecting the old thread. There is a new command - copy:

$ ssh g...@git.pld-linux.org copy <package> <newpackage>

It enables to fork an existing package without flood of messages on
pld-cvs. But there some open questions which branches and tags it should
copy into the new repo (right now it copies everything):

a) ordinary branches and tags - I think there is no doubt that all
    should be copied

b) auto tags auto/<dist>/* - not sure

c) distribution branches and tags e.g. AC-branch - I would prefer to
have them copied as it is a little more tricky to exclude them as there
is a lack on consistency in categories (tag vs. branch) and naming

Any opinions?
i think, omit auto-tags when copying as these can't be cleaned up by ordinary user and also perhaps omit RA* branches, as these are not allowed to be edited also by ordinary user
for AC-branch - keep it as it's possible to drop them by regular user
