feat: archive git repository (experimental)

Kevin Morris requested to merge kevr/aurweb:git-archives into master

Take a look at the commit in the log for more details.

See doc/git-archive.md for specification of this implementation

Background discussion: #172

On Release

  • We will be announcing a deprecation period for our old archives generated by aurweb-mkpkglists (2 months).

Performance

Cloning a fresh copy of the metadata repository generated by this MR on an instance with 30,000 packages (only a few split packages) produces a git repository of 31M in size.

Ideas

  • SSH key signing of commits?
