Nice! Finally no more strange error messages when typing "git commit" in 
the web repo ;-).

There's a few things I am wondering about. First of all: Do we really 
need to convert obsolete repos? Here engine-data and docs come to mind 
first. engine-data itself would've been a better candidate to be merged 
with our main sources, since the datafiles needed to be kept in sync 
with that. So I don't see any real reason to convert that to a git repo. 
For docs I also don't see why we would need it anymore. It has not been 
touched in ages and there seems no plan for it either. Our manual 
attempt is maintained on our wiki these days. So I would propose to just 
ignore these SVN modules.

Speaking about ScummEX. Seeing that it has been a sub-project I would 
rather let it have its own repo. Maybe even creating its own "project", 
if there's any more interest in working on it further.

Last but not least the differentation between "web" and "sites". I think 
all are bascially "sites". So I was wondering why we keep them 
separated. Then I thought it might be because it's difficult to update 
the website from sf.net otherwise, since it would be more complicated 
than simply having a clone of the repo on the webserver and pulling the 
latest changes. But this brought me to the question: Will this be any 
easier for the other sites we have? So here I would like to see some 
further ideas on how that is handled before I can make a real decision.

I think we should keep the scummvm- prefix. This is a) consistent with 
what we did for our tools repo and b) it might affect sorting of our 
repos in our ScummVM organization view on github (i.e. assure our main 
repo is first). I'm not sure about "b" so a clarification here would be 
nice.
