Note that I have force-rebased the BRANCH_MAPI branch so it now hinges
on RELEASE_6-3-8, rather than dangle in mid air as it used to. This was
done to provide proper ancestry for BRANCH_MAPI so as to ease later
merging, and to avoid the use of graftpoints that would have to be
created manually after checkout.

I know that this practice is being frowned upon, but I think it's
warranted in this case to fix this SVN conversion error as soon as
possible.

If you haven't changed anything on BRANCH_MAPI, just force the next git
fetch or git pull.

If you have changed things on BRANCH_MAPI, please stash your changes
first, before pulling/fetching with --force.

If you have changes committed locally, please contact me.

Best regards
Matthias
