Subject: Detecting upstream Git repositories
Maybe I'm on the wrong path here, but I feel it'd be only natural for Git::CPAN::Patch to actually detect public upstream git repositories (e.g. in META.yml) and automatically clone them instead of downloading history from CPAN, especially considering how much of older CPAN recently got deleted.

Oh, and just in case this feature is actually implemented: I tried cpan- cloning Git::CPAN::Patch itself and haven't found a remote repo on github in the list, so I guess you could consider this feature request an actual bug report if that's supposed to work ;)

Extracting the git repo from the META is something that I indeed want to do at some point. In the meantime, you can use 'git-cpan-import --backpan' or 'git-cpan-import --gitpan' which will both give you the full release history of the module (the first via the BackPAN , the second via the http://github.com/gitpan account).

It's going to sound like a silly question, but what list are talking about, here? :-)

Easy: the one that "git branches -a" gives me :)

It's "git branch -a" of course, but you get the idea... ;)

Not right now, but it's something I still want to add to G::CPAN::P. If you want to have a go at it, you're quite welcome to it. :-) Joy, `/anick
