In the opensuse-packaging ML (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2009-03/msg00040.html) Peter Poeml encouraged people to try to hack BuildService so it would use git as its source server.
Uh huh, good luck with that one. I fear that Peter doesn't really have an overview over what needs to be done to switch to git.
Vivid advantages of the git approach are: - standard VCS operations like diff, log or commit are offline - this decreases the server load and one could work without the network access
That's just delaying the commit until you do a 'git push'. Plus, you don't really want to have just one git repository for the build service - 'git pull' always pulls the complete repository, this would mean having a local copy of *all* sources. Having a repository for each project is maybe also not enough because of projects like "openSUSE:Factory". Another big problem where I don't know how they could be implemented with git are source links.
