Werner,
according to here:
http://www.apache.org/dev/git.html
we need to provide the following information, for the INFRA jira ticket:
* Name of the codebase, for example "Apache Tika"
* Name of the requested Git mirror, for example "tika.git"
* Subversion path of the codebase, for example "/lucene/tika/"
* Subversion layout, in case it is different from the standard
"trunk, branches, tags" structure.
I think we may start with MyFaces core? Or do you think we should add
*all* the subprojects?
For MyFaces CORE, I'd suggest the following:
Name of the codebase: Apache MyFaces
Name of the requested Git mirror: myfaces_core.git
Subversion path of the codebase: /myfaces/core/
