[CentOS-devel] Questions about the new git.centos.org repos

Now that there are repos up at git.centos.org, I was wondering if anyone had a python tool I could use to convert a repo back into a source RPM?

Similarly, does anyone know how gitblit handles repo change notifications? I'd love to be notified of updates to some repos or their tags. A programmatic tool for gathering that information would work just as well... I'm not sure which would work better for my workflow.

There's a fair chance at various intervals I'd be hitting the site somewhat hard, are there any instructions for mirroring all the parts necessary for package assembly? I'd rather beat up my local mirror than pick on the main page.

Open to ideas,

Pat
