Hi list

Git mirroring is fully set up and every repository has been updated.
**Please update your remotes immediately and do NOT push to Github
anymore**. I'm looking into whether it's possible to make the Github
repositories write only to avoid mistakes. Unfortunately, it looks
like anyone in the Owners team will always be able to write to all
repos.
If you do push to Github by mistake, please immediately push to
git.lxde.org as well and barring conflicts, things should work just
fine.

Pushes to Github are handled by our little mascot Helix:
https://github.com/HelixBot - I'm the only one with access to the
account currently, but if anyone wants the password just ask me (I'm
also looking into whether it's possible to set up delegated
management). On that note, Helix is currently set up with an
@leclan.ch email and I would like to update it to get an @lxde.org
email.

Whenever you push to a repository on git.lxde.org, the server will
immediately mirror push everything on github.com/LXDE.
I've left instructions in ~git/README on how to set up new
repositories with this mirroring scheme.

The AUR has also been updated to directly use the git.lxde.org repositories.

NOTES:
Repos not set up:
https://github.com/lxde/jhbuild
https://github.com/lxde/lxrandr-qt
I can't find those in the lxde.org project list. @PCMan, what do we do
about them?

libfm.git had a lot of branches on github which have been deleted
after the sync. They all seem to be old, unused branches (filter,
fm-path-gsequence, search-monitor, thumbnails, ...) but it's worth
mentioning.

Also, all of this poses a problem regarding pull request; we should no
longer use the Merge button on github. Personally I'm fine with that
as I do not like the "Merge" commits it produces, I would rather we
keep the history clean and pull the PRs locally, rebase them if
necessary and push them upstream.
If others are fine with this I'd love to figure out a way to do this
cleanly and easily maybe through a git alias or two.
