For one thing git is very resource intensive compared to rsync mirroring, and there are anyways things that needs to be properly prepared in a staging area before being presented to a user. For one thing we can't expect users to keep an up to date copy of all gentoo developer's OpenPGP keys to verify each git commit, additionally this will cause issues with retirement and similar situations (certificate revocation, subkey rotations, expiries). Git is a good tool for revision control (if used properly), but it is not a panacea - -- Kristian Fiskerstrand Public PGP key 0xE3EDFAE3 at hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net fpr:94CB AFDD 3034 5109 5618 35AA 0B7F 8B60 E3ED FAE3 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJWzP5gAAoJECULev7WN52F9BsIAJ/0lCFUYEttFkMU4rsQ2mKY C8fWgtelOxTQoyqDHuQAGnYRbGoxNe8IfgtlYEwfHtH4C0aZfGr/AwDfo6FmM+nm ChpyQIFX/V4SaoP+kBoK2ER1nhexWYCADMvIweqzgJwOYaPJfD5/dhJj38cmfkaq 5uvredv3UqwZOcMLexqp2N1X29qDneMve4RDElIp8O4hh344H5Ffonhht+AI7hj0 kqXyHXFtsP1Hq3NB7OdkWfkzcZnG9DZwRmFL3DJ6HXRmXcjV8JPeC4SAGt4/Ea/x 3ck8VRlhCeHMKcwC2pqxmBGnuXNpxVkPXfV4D48ukjt8SfaJbkM7EM/asAlN98A= =2qTt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
