[jbosstools-dev] The "secret" git-svn mirror is now live

Time to clone to local: 18 mins = awesome! :D

Fact that it's still read-only: less awesome. (But it's a great start!) :(

See http://divby0.blogspot.com/search/label/git for some ideas on how to 
use Git as the front end to the *read-write* SVN repo.

Note too that this mirror is, for me, 1.9G on disk. My git-svn clone 
(containing only the 3.2.x and trunk branches) was 1.3G when I checked 
it out a month ago[1]. This naturally is larger because it contains more 
revision history.
