Is it possible?

advantage:
1 The mirrors do not need download the total new pkgs if it just updated several files.
   2  old versions of package can be retrived.
3 GIT is fast. 4 It seems cool!

dis-advantage:
   1  It is a torture of GIT
   2  Huge of works to be done.


I don't think git is suitable for maintaining large amounts of binary files. The diffs probably won't be very efficient, so storage size will explode. And - all mirrors use rsync (they also mirror other stuff besides Arch), we can't just tell them all to do it differently.
