Basically Till is proposing that we point every new branch to the commit that created the git repo, for example for perl-MooX-Types-MooseLike-Numeric that you maintain it would be: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/perl-MooX-Types-MooseLike-Numeric.git/commit/?id=101a14a33 But looking through other repo, Till, it seems that older repo do not have this commit.
