While the move to git is great, it's not going so well if you're on the Rawhide ("bleeding edge") like me. The new tool uses Python, which is broken in Rawhide right now because of the transition from Python 2.6 to 2.7.
Looks more like a transition from cvs to a propietary fedpkg (proprietary in the sense of nobody else uses it/custom-made) with underlying gitolite with underlying git. Hm..
