The current ELF Tool Chain git mirror[1] is produced using "git svn",
and doesn't correctly represent changes prior to r402, when the svn
repo was reorganized to match the standard svn layout. This conversion
is in the (currently default) trunk branch[2].

I have produced a prototype mirror using "svn2git", which does
translate the pre-r402 history. I also set up an author name map for
this conversion, using my preferred email address for my commits and
using names and email addresses from Sourceforge for others. (The
mapping can be adjusted prior to running the real conversion.)

This conversion is available in the master branch in my own ELF Tool
Chain github repo[3]. I invite others to review this conversion; if no
issues are found I expect to push it to the ELF Tool Chain GitHub
mirror in a week or so.

The scripts and tools for the conversion can be found in my
elftoolchain-git-mirror repo[4] on GitHub.

Note that this git mirror changes nothing with respect to the official
"source of truth" which remains the svn repository on SourceForge.
