I started mirroring the Sage library on GitHub. It's not very useful right
now since we can't accept pull requests, but there we are. It's a long
shot, but who knows, it might attract a new developer or two.

used to convert the Sage notebook a couple weeks ago, though I had to hack
it a little bit to get past some corruption caused by a commit whose
username was malformed ("Name >email@address>"). Our .hgtags seems to
transfer across fine, too. Interestingly, while our Mercurial repo's data
store is 55 MB, the git one is only 32 MB. Quite a surprising difference, I
thought. I also made a few branch pointers on the git repo, for future
tracking of releases from Jeroen, but I'll let the README I added on GitHub
explain about that.

use it as more than a mirror someday! I welcome any comments or suggestions

Thanks for doing this!   I want to experiment with doing Sage development
using git and this will help a lot.
