This would require changing our procedures completely. I don't think
it's a good idea to do that now, and I don't see any clear advantage in
using git for managing our packages. I'd rather let another (less
understaffed) team with similar procedures experiment with git, and then
just copy what they did.

Switching to the layout that the perl team uses is a simple step that
has immediate benefits.

Regarding -wip, I agree that all packages could reside in the same
directory. We just need a simple script to iterate over all packages
that are currently in the archive (easy to write).
