As you've seen from the commit emails, I've finished the transition.

Unfortunately this didn't go very well. It seems you can't easily
convert svn-buildpackage to git-buildpackage *and* be able to build old
versions easily. So this means:
  - old version are available as tags, but only the debian/ directory,
	and you need to build manually the package, and not via
	git-buildpackage; if you want to be sure you replicate an old build,
	checking out subversion is better;
  - some tags which were redone in SVN were lost (e.g. ganeti-1.2~b3-1)
  - due to how I've imported the upstream sources, neither repository is
	actually ready; I have to import a new upstream version and then
	only it's a fully-functional, valid, git-buildpackage-enabled repo

Especially due to the last point, I'll do a ganeti 1.2.7 import and
instance-debootstrap 0.7, but probably not today.

thanks,
iustin
