[gobolinux-devel] Repositories converted to Git

Ten years of commits, from CVS, to Subversion, and now to Git: I'm
happy to announce github.com/gobolinux.

The entire history of commits has been preserved. That 24024 commits
in the recipes repository, and 4747 commits in the tools repository
(plus a few in the files and external repositories).

As you can see, I broke the "tools" repository into several separate
repositories, and I tried my best to match tags to their particular
projects (which involved some Ruby hacking to the svn2git project...)

Due to inconsistencies in the format of the tags/ repository over
time, not all tags were saved (perhaps due to CVS→Subversion
conversions). Still, most recent releases for Scripts and Compile are
properly tagged, though, and the code itself and commit messages
(which usually describe past releases) are all there.

There is still work to do: the scripts themselves still need to be
converted to point to the new infrastructure. The Git repositories
will be also cloned at the gobolinux.org infrastructure as a backup,
but primary development should happen at GitHub.

Yes, that means pull requests are welcome!

I just posted the news: (with a cute icon)

From the lurkers in the peanut gallery, Bravo, Hisham!

Sometimes the work that doesn't add a single line of code is the most
important.
