Proposal of Git policy updates
- Allow
pristine-lfs
instead ofpristine-tar
. This would allow to store tarballs with precision pristine-tar cannot offer, especially e.g. with xz tarballs. - Mention why
pristine-lfs
may be better in some cases. - Make the preference for tarballs vs Git history less strict: using Git history should be okay in cases when the upstream history is not violently branched or when commits happen relatively rarely.
