My personal expectation here would be that if I enabled source-git for
my packages, I wouldn't want to touch dist-git and only work in the
source-git repos. Yes, there would still be changes coming to
dist-git, and I'd inspect those from source-git. I'd even ask
contributors to use source-git for PR contributions if possible.

As I said, it's a prototype and we'll see.

Thanks for your feedback,
