transition from svn to git

[GoogleCodeExporter]

As discussed on the mailing list [1] we want to switch the repository backend 
from subversion to git (now supported on gcode [2]. I would like to do the 
switchover on 28 November. That means:

ALL DEVELOPERS PLEASE READ THIS!

1) If you have code in your local subversion repository that has not been 
committed then you should either get it commit-ready and commit it by Sun 27 
Nov. Alternatively, make sure you update to the latest svn by 27 Nov and then 
make a diff of the changes (which can later be used with git):

   svn update
   svn diff > my_changes.patch

2) Once the switch has been made you will need to checkout MDAnalysis again 
("clone" in git parlance); there will be instructions for how to do this on the 
http://code.google.com/p/mdanalysis/source/checkout page. (If you made a diff 
in the previous step you will then apply the changes to your new copy... 
details to follow or ask.)

3) Hopefully, the Online Docs will "just work" (at least that's what a google 
rep suggested, see my question in the FAQ [1]) but to a minimum links will need 
to be changed on the home page.

Once this is done we can tackle other restructuring such as Issue 87.

The conversion of the subversion repository to git has been carried out.

Checkout instructions are at http://code.google.com/p/mdanalysis/source/checkout

If you already use git-svn then you might be able to simply add googlecode as a 
remote repository

  git remote add googlecode https://code.google.com/p/mdanalysis

and then pull/push from there. I am using a clean clone, though, as per 
checkout instructions.

Please feel free to update the wiki accordingly as I won't have time to do this 
immediately. Please report any problems you may encounter.

Details of the procedure can be found at 
http://code.google.com/p/mdanalysis/wiki/svn2gitConversion

Thanks,
Oliver

For all those wondering to play frisk (and not checkout clean clone), `git 
remote add` method worked seamlessly for me (at least for now). Did a repo 
backup, of course.
