Not sure how much it's doable, but I can help with that. Once we can create
a commit mapping between
hg, svn and git repo it would be nice to put that in front of svn.p.o and
hg.p.o and redirect to git.
At least it'll teach people that we're on git and this is where they should
look by default.
Yes, that means I'm volunteering to help with that :)
