[pywin32-checkins] Moving to github

[Mark H. <mha...@sk...>]

Now that Python has moved to git and github, and sourceforge seems to be
making it almost impossible to find their mercurial repos, I think
pywin32 should also move to git and github. I intend moving the repo
over first, and move the tracker over at some stage later.

At this stage I'm only mailing the -checkins list, and hope that some of
you may be able to have a quick look at this repo and ensure it is sane.
I've rewritten some of the "authors" in commits to include an email
address (using their github ID if I could find it) and rewritten some of
the commit messages so that text like "fixed something (bug #123)" is
now "fixed something (bug #sf123)" to try and differentiate old
sourceforge references from github references.

I've put the repo up at
https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32-experimental-do-not-clone - I've
named it that way just in-case there are objections or something I've
missed, but I hope to rename it to simply pywin32 soon. Also, please
feel free to send me your github IDs and I'll happily give you access to
this repo.

Please let me know if you have any concerns about this, and I'd
appreciate it if you could give it a quick sanity check.

Thanks!

Mark
