Detailed Description
Create a new version of mgarepo, with following features :
- git repositories to store packages instead of svn
- creation of a new repository (for a new package)
- binrepo (same as current version)
- packaging software without binary tarballs, the sources are stored in a git branch, the tarball is created automatically by mgarepo
- new maintainers database, with support for maintainers groups

Planning
