[Swift-devel] Migrating to github

[Yadu Nand]

I think moving to Github is a great idea, also makes sense to merge
cog and swift into one repo.

Part of the reason for the popularity of Github is the social/open
aspect of development. Going
forward we'd definitely need that, and the sooner we migrate, the better.

It also looks like there's some nice documentation here
http://git-scm.com/book/ch8-1.html
about git-svn interoperability.
