Actually, note #3: We don't ahve to move *everything* to git. We can  
keep the webpages, planet etc. all in SVN (and of course also the old  
ScummVM repository would stay there), and only move ScummVM itself  
(maybe together with the tools, and or engine-data) into a git/hg/bzr  
repository.

Bye,
