Or just continue to use the one on Git as the main one and let Martin
implement the backup to the one on helenos.org in a more relaxed
timeframe. I still think there are some sound arguments for using it
that way (e.g. it is easier to set up things for the admin team and the
admin team becomes more meaningful than in the present situation when
most of the things require Martin's intervention).

I also imported Jano's merged branch into:

  https://github.com/HelenOS/helenos-test

It contains both the Bazaar and the Subversion history. There are pros
and cons to having fake git history. In any case, we could tag the
cut-off date (btw tomorrow is Friday 13th) so that we might use it as a
sentinel for bisecting. Or we can use it as a historic repo for
reference. I am mostly indifferent here, but now that it is there and
one can git blame across the whole history, I have a slight preference
towards helenos-test becoming the main helenos repository (after a
rename, of course).

Ideas, preferences, concerns, suggestions?

Jakub
