Do you need anything from me to get this done beforehand?
For what I can see on the server, I confirm that the openbios.git repository on git.qemu.org is point to a git server with a static IP. Ideally we should run our own git-svn on the server. Unfortunately the directory is owned by aliguori:aliguori so only Anthony or an admin can probably fix that.
