What happened? What is the problem?

The current workflow seems to be that any file mentioned in Source will be uploaded to the lookaside cache, unless the file is already in the dist-git vcs.

But if we want to add a new file to be tracked by vcs, e.g. Source: pkg.service, than it will automatically be added to the lookaside cache instead of vcs.

What did you expect to happen?

Have some interface to control this. Not sure how that should look like, either:

• opt-in for the files/glob-patterns to upload to the lookaside cache
• opt-in for the files (or only Source) files to be tracked by vcs

I am rather inclined for the former, but how would one deal with Source0 archive, especially since the pattern is hard to predict, e.g. *.crate for rust

Workaround

• There is an existing workaround that can be used until this issue is fixed.
