Meant for discussion. Instead of downloading and unpacking the package source tarball, clone the corresponding Git repository. Inspired by https://github.com/falconindy/asp. Adds git as package dependency.

Instead of ripping out the old system I would rather this be a config option.

Same, would also prefer this to be an option, I know that tarballs are meant to disappear soon (if memory serves correctly) but I still prefer them.

Also how does this handle migrating. If i have a package that I installed using the tarball method then switch to the git method will it handle it correctly?

Do you plan on going anywhere with this? I might pick up on it myself otherwise. Add the config option and other fixes.

I've been playing around with git cloning and git pulling for updates in a few branches, I think we can roll it out as an option after the maintenance.
