Hi Andreas and everybody,

I took the freedom to add the two following lines to our group policy's
instructions for migrating a package from Subversion to Git:

  Document in the Subversion repository that the package has been transferred
  elsewhere, for instance with a file named now_managed_via_git containing the
  new VCS URL.
  
  Delete the package in the Subversion repository after its VCS URL in Stable
  has been updated by the next release.

I will of course correct them if I did not guess the consensus correctly :)

Cheers,
