We use Git for the code and Subversion for the site/guide (because Apache
infrastructure).
The main Git repo is https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/wicket.git.
It is being synchronized/mirrored to https://github.com/apache/wicket
(every 2 hours, I think).

The SNAPSHOTs repo is
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/
After every push to https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/wicket.git the
CI server (http://ci.apache.org/builders/wicket-master) uploads the new
-SNAPSHOTs to https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/

This should be enough.

Just to make it clear:
- Wicket 7.x is Git master branch
- Wicket 6.x is Git 'wicket-6.x' branch
