Re: [RFC] cgit in git?

But the buildsystem/policy used by the fedora project does not allow
network access during package builds, and since it is quite unlikely
that the git package always will match the exact release needed by the
cgit package, I only see four options:
1) the fedora project makes a 'git-for-cgit' package containing the
needed release of the git sources
2) the cgit release tarballs includes the needed git sources

2b) make cgit .spec use _two_ tarballs as a source, one with cgit
sources, one with git sources.  This assumes that you always use
released git version as a base.

This is immediate solution.

3) the cgit sources are subtree-merged into git

I wonder how likely this would be.

4) cgit is modified to link against libgit2

Option 4) would be probably best in long term, but libgit2 doesn't
exists yet.
