 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

 ## Impact to Helm Operator

+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
