Migration of OpenSSL from dist-git to src-git in Fedora
summary
Migration converts Fedora OpenSSL from dist-git to a source-git workflow using packit and the source-git init command, preserving upstream git history and turning downstream patches into commits. The demo converts about 49 patches converted into commits, creates a .distro dir and source-git.yaml, and the sync command produces dist-git patches (a new 0042 test.patch) and updates the spec file (version bumped to 3). Branching uses tag-suffixed Rawhide (e.g. 3.0.8) and a new Rawhide for the next upstream (3.1.1).
