Well, it's still up-to-date, but I'm not doing any active FAI develop-
ment atm. The Git repo is currently missing any branches from SVN, but I
could fix that.

Good thing. That made the message being "hilighted", so I did not just
<ctrl>-r read the whole thread as usual ;-)

If more people plan to use some FAI-git, it makes a lot of sense to move
that to alioth imho.

I'm currently using a simple shell snippet which uses "git svn rebase"
to update a "sync repo" and then pushes everything to the "git only
repo". Pushing could be done to master or some branch called, e.g.,
trunk or whatever. I probably makes sense to push some other branches as
well (either hard-core all the names or use "git push --all"). I don't
think any other magic is required for that.

Cheers,
Sebastian
