Good news everyone! I've prepared a helper script that will guide you
through moving from the old to the new git mirror:
https://github.com/Nephyrin/moz-git-migrator
To run it:
wget
https://raw.github.com/Nephyrin/moz-git-migrator/master/moz-git-migrator.sh
./moz-git-migrator.sh ./my-git-repo
The script won't modify your repo directly, but instead analyze it and
tell you what needs to be done. It's a bit tricky, so if you run into
any issues or cases it doesn't seem to handle properly, let me know!

Here's another reminder everyone. This is happening *this Friday* at 1pm,
EST. I will shut down my update scripts on Friday, and will push a
non-fast-forward commit to all of the branches on that repo on Monday so
that people who do not see this message before that time would have a way
of knowing about this change.
If you haven't done already, *please* take a few minutes to do this right
now. If you hit problems, please ping me over email or IRC, or hop on #git.
Thanks!

Gentle reminder that this is happening this Friday. Ideally you should
have migrated your local git clones to the new repositories by now, but if
you haven't, please take some time to do this before this Friday.
Again, if you have a reason why I should postpone this please speak up!
Cheers,

Dear all,
For the past two and a half years I have been maintaining a git mirror of
mozilla-central plus a lot of the other branches that people found useful
at https://github.com/mozilla/mozilla-central. Over the years this
proved to be too much work for me to keep up with, and given the existence
of the new git mirrors that are supported by RelEng, I'm planning to shut
down the update jobs for this repository on Friday, Dec 13, 2013 and take
the repository down.
I strongly suggest that if you have been using and relying on this
repository before, please consider switching to the RelEng repositories as
soon as possible. https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev is the main
repository where you can find branches such as trunk/aurora/b2g
branches/etc and https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-projects is a
repository which contains project branches and twigs. (Note that my
repository hosts all of these branches in a single location, but from now
on if you use both of these branch subsets you will need to have two
upstream remotes added in your local git clone.)
The RelEng repositories have a similar history line including the CVS
history but they have completely different commit SHA1s, so pulling that
repo into your existing clones is probably not what you want. If you don't
have a lot of non-merged branches, your safest bet is cloning from scratch
and then port your existing branches manually. If you have a lot of local
branches, you may want to wait for the script that John Schoenick is
working on in bug 929338 which will assist you in rebasing those branches
on top of the new history line.
Last but not least, I really hate to have to disrupt your workflow like
this. I do hope that three weeks is enough advance notice for everybody to
successfully switch over to the new mirrors, but if you have a reason for
me to delay this please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate.
Cheers,
