Moved form Subversion to Git

The viking's history is now hosted on the Git service provided by SourceForge:

http://viking.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=viking
http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Git

Note that this repo is not *directly* compatible with any other Git repo maintained with git-svn. I'm really sorry for that, but any contributor using Git to work on dedicated branches will have some work to rebase its work on this new repo. Feel free to share, on this list, your tips for such work.
The reason of this rewriten history is the wish to expose *real* authors of many commits. In french, I would say "Rendre à César ce qui est à César".
