how do you handle project not using git as their primary SCM ?
Importing tarballs in repositories in pretty hackish. Having a single
repo is out of question as git hardly scale. Moreover, that would
require huge bandwidth for projects which provide a git tree. Linux
tree should be +500M, (unofficial) gcc and glib are about 600M not
check'et out.
