[rap-dev] RAP Incubator Git migration finished

Hi all,

we've created git repositories for all incubator components [1]. We
consider the migration successful and requested to switch the
Incubator CVS to read-only.

Please use the git repositories from now on. We agreed on a common
structure for all repositories that is outlined on the new RAP/Git
wiki page [2]. A primer on using Git at Eclipse can be found at the
Git wiki page [3].

Let us know if you notice any problems, here or on bug 376694.

The migration for RAP itself is scheduled for the time around M7 (May 11).

Regards, Ralf
