The controller implementation will watch for source objects in a cluster and act on them.

## Impact to Flux
Having a dedicated controller that manages Git repositories defined with Kubernetes custom resources would:
* simplify Flux configuration as fluxd could subscribe to Git sources in-cluster and pull the artifacts
automatically without manual intervention from users to reconfigure and redeploy FLux
* improve the installation experience as users will not have to patch fluxd's deployment to inject

## Impact to Helm Operator
TODO
Having a dedicated controller that manages Helm repositories and charts defined with Kubernetes custom
resources would:
* simplify the Helm Operator configuration as repository and chart definitions can be re-used across
`HelmRelease` resources (see [fluxcd/helm-operator#142](https://github.com/fluxcd/helm-operator/issues/142))
* improve the user experience as repositories requiring authentication will no longer require a
`repositories.yaml` import / file mount
* simplify the architecture of the Helm Operator as it allows the operator to work with a single
source type (`HelmChart`) and way of preparing and executing installations and/or upgrades
* allow the Helm Operator to run under a non-root user as it wouldn't need to shell out to git
