Automake now uses git as primary source repository

[Ralf Wildenhues]

GNU Automake now uses git as its primary source repository.
You can find it here:

  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git

For a read-only checkout with git, use either of

  git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/automake.git
  git clone http://git.sv.gnu.org/r/automake.git

Write access is possible for project members using their Savannah login
with

  git clone ssh://address@hidden/srv/git/automake.git

For more information on git hosting at Savannah, please see
<http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/UsingGit>.

For general information on git, its documentation, a tutorial, etc., see
<http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/>.

For some good practices on how to collaborate with git, see for example
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2007-09/msg00118.html>.

The old CVS repositories at Savannah and at sourceware.org will be
discontinued soon; however, a read-only CVS mirror can be obtained via

  cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/automake.git \
      checkout -d automake HEAD

for the current master, and

  cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/automake.git \
         checkout -d automake branch-1-10

for the current branch-1-10, from which version 1.10.1 will be released.

Thanks to Jim Meyering who did all the conversion work, to the Savannah
people for providing git hosting, and to the git people for git.
