[OpenBIOS] OpenBIOS SVN repository migration to github complete

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

Hi all,

After several weeks of planning, I'm pleased to announce that the
official OpenBIOS repository has now been moved from SVN on coreboot.org
over to the OpenBIOS project on github.com:

https://github.com/openbios

I've been through the OpenBIOS wiki and updated the links (and some of
the text) at http://www.openfirmware.info/OpenBIOS to point towards the
github repository, although for the moment the wiki and mailing lists
will still be hosted on the openfirmware.info domain.

For those people who have been using the git-svn mirror of the OpenBIOS
repository at git://git.qemu-project.org/openbios.git for development,
you will need to manually update any current working branches to point
to the updated HEAD. This is because of differences in the metadata
between the two git repositories.

The basic update procedure for a git.qemu-project.org clone is as follows:

1) git fetch origin            # bring in new commits
2) git branch --set-upstream master origin/master   # update master to
point to new upstream master

and then for each branch you wish to bring up to date:

1) git checkout <branch>       # switch to the named branch
2) git rebase master           # rebase branch onto new HEAD

There should be no conflicts since the only differences between the
repositories are in the metadata and not the content. Once this is done,
you should find that the master HEADs on github and git.qemu-project.org
are the same moving forward, so patches/pull requests from either
repository can be handled interchangeably.


ATB,

Mark.
