[BRLTTY] Brltty is now in a git repository.

[Dave Mielke]

Hi:

Brltty is now being maintained within a git (rather than a subversion) source 
repository. Cloning should be done from:

   git at github.com:brltty/brltty.git

If any of you have already discovered this repository, please reclone. It's 
former contents were experimental and have now been overwritten.

The subversion repository is no longer being updated as of the release of 
brltty-5.0. For those of you who aren't familiar with git but who used to use 
subversion, here are a few commands that'll come in handy:

Instead of doing "svn checkout", you should now do:

   git clone git at github.com:brltty/brltty.git

This'll create a brltty subdirectory. If you'd prefer to create a different 
directory, then, as with the "svn checkout" command, you can add that 
directory's path as an additional parameter.

After cloning the repository, again as with subversion, you'd cd into the newly 
created directory. By default, you'll be seeing the latest development code as 
of that time. You can then, from time to time as needed, update to the new 
latest development code by doing "git pull" (which works essentially like "svn 
update").

If you'd like to switch to the code for a specific brltty release, then you'd 
use a command like this:

   git checkout BRLTTY-release

For example:

   git checkout BRLTTY-5.0

Note that BRLTTY, here, is in all uppercase.

To see which brltty releases you can have a look at, use this command:

   git tag

Note that the subversion repository only contained brltty releases back to 3.0 
whereas the git repository now additionally contains many releases earlier than 
that.

To get back to the latest development code, use this command:

   git checkout master

That should be enough to get you going. If you have any questions regarding 
this change, don't hesitate to ask.
