[linuxtools-dev] Migration to Git complete

Hi,

I re-did the SVN to Git conversion process [1] with a clean SVN snapshot
from 4:30 PM Eastern (North America) today.  I believe the Eclipse
webmasters have made our SVN repository read-only and all work should
now be done in the Git repository.

Note that I only had time tonight to merge into master the various
branches that matched SVN trunks but I'll get at least 0.7 re-done
tomorrow and push it, too.  I've verified that current master matches
what is in SVN trunk of the various SVN repositories.

The repositories can be seen on the web here:

  http://git.eclipse.org/c/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.git/
  http://git.eclipse.org/c/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.eclipse-build.git/

Committers should be able to clone and push via a URL like:

  git clone ssh://<your committer ID>@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.git

Please let me know if try to commit something and it doesn't work.  As a
reminder, EGit's update site is:

  http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates  

I've started on a Git guide for our project and enhancements are very
much welcome:

  http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/Git

Especially note the Git procedures for Eclipse:

I'm quite sure we'll have some migration pains but I believe they will
be worth it.  Please don't hesitate to ask me questions as you get used
to Git and our new processes.  I'm not a Git expert but I will do my
best to help iron out any problems.  We'll sort out some more details
about commit message guidelines and such over the coming weeks.

Thanks for the patience during this time of transition,

Andrew

In case anyone's interested, I put up the script I used here:

  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=189617

attached to this bug:

  Bug 337892 - Git migration request: technology.linux-distros
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=337892

After the script did its work, I manually merged each of the master-*
branches that were created by git-stitch-repo.
