Use gitnamespaces for efficient storage
Instead of using one Git repository per package, use a single large object storage for space efficiency. The refs of the individual package bases are divided using gitnamespaces(7) which allows for exposing each namespace as an independent repository easily. Also, git-serve is modified to create a branch for each package, allowing to browse the large repository with cgit.
