There is only one git repository for fossology:
http://www.fossology.org/projects/fossology/wiki/Git_Download
However, there is a fossology SPDX module in a second git repository from the
University of Omaha, Nebraska. You can download the source and learn about it
here:

It is stored until you delete the upload. In the fossology main menu you can
chose, Organize > Uploads > Delete Uploaded File.
We would like to add the ability to auto archive/delete uploads but haven’t
gotten to it yet. With this option you could have an upload automatically
archived or deleted after some time period.
Since you are familiar with git, I’d like to add that fossology also uses
content addressable memory. So if you upload mypkg.src.rpm, change 2 files and
then upload the new version, only those two changed files will take up storage
in the file repository and only those two files will be rescanned.
Thanks,
Bob Gobeille
