Hi again,

This is a heads-up for a change that has just been committed to
Crosswalk's master branch and will impact your local Crosswalk
checkouts.

Pull request #2037 has been merged, which means all repositories checked
out as chromium-crosswalk dependencies (namely, everything **EXCEPT**
v8-crosswalk, chromium-crosswalk, blink-crosswalk and ozone-wayland)
will be renamed and re-checked out from git instead of svn.

The total checkout time should not be too long, as the largest
repositories are chromium-crosswalk, blink-crosswalk and android_tools,
all of which already come from git.

As I said above, the old SVN checkouts are not removed automatically:
instead, they are moved to a separate directory called _bad_scm. Make
sure to remove it if you do not need it.

The main reasons for doing this are:

* The Chromium project itself is working towards moving its canonical
  repositories to git, which means this would happen sooner or later.

* It speeds up the checkout times in bots (particularly the ones
  producing canaries and betas), since we can cache all repositories.
