Another update.  I've moved all the repos we have converted into the
production rpms directory.  This is read/write now.  I'm also in the
process of branching all of them for f14, but as this doesn't generate
any email, and I trust git to not screw things up this doesn't require
any outage.  Once the branching is done I'm going to update what
'dist-rawhide' targets so that builds from master will go to dist-f15,
the next rawhide.  I'll also build a new fedora-release for dist-f14/f15
that sets up the dist tags correctly.

el4/5 has been boot strapped so we can build there, although fedpkg
doesn't really work on el4.  We've taken some... extreme shortcuts to
get the buildsystem to work.  If somebody wants to work on porting
fedpkg to el4, be my guest :)

We were not able to successfully convert the kernel repo, so I'm going
to do the last ditch effort of creating an empty repo and importing the
last srpm.

We are getting very close to calling this conversion "good enough" to
run with.  A bigger announcement will come then.  Some wiki pages are
now up, thanks to spot and others,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_Fedora_GIT

We just might finish up before the 48 hour window is up!
