Create a 6.x-2.x branch with Git stuff

Even with that, there is simply not enough information available to get a local up and running. The README is sorely out of date, and there are no clues as to how to get a local git repository that has already been converted from cvs or how to plug that into your local site once you have it. I'd love to help out more here but really need some better instructions on how to even start. If anyone can give some links here to existing instructions one how to get underway with this so that once can begin working on *anything* I'd be happy to help update documentation as well as work on some issues.

I think these are the most up-to-date instructions available: http://groups.drupal.org/node/105299

One more module: http://drupal.org/project/project_git_instructions

I've added project_git_instructions in my own fork of mikey_p's github repo: git://github.com/helmo/drupalorg_testing.git

@mikey_p: Could you pull from there?

Besides the addition of the module it has a fix: in 99b65efc92d917150b54 (Changed the node ownership to the 'admin1' user as user 1 at this point has the name 'placeholder-for-uid-1', atleast under Aegir.)

To get the profile installable I've also had to disable the devel module, seems to be another Aegir specific problem, but I've not committed that.

Don't need this to launch, but MAN do we need it to really open up public work on this system in phase 3.

If somebody wanted to start assembling this, though, it could be a _great_ project for someone wanting to learn a lot more about how our infra works, and make some excellent contributions in the future.

I tried to install the current version just last week. I get an error:
Fatal error: Class 'VersioncontrolGitBackend' not found in /var/www/drupalorg_testing/profiles/drupalorg_testing/modules/versioncontrol_git/versioncontrol_git.module on line 45
Anyone has a hint as where to look for?

I would like to work on a 6.x-2.x branch.
To start with it: Which new *Git* modules not mentioned in the make_file should be added?

@franskuipers The best list of modules I know of is at https://github.com/JoshTheGeek/tggm-makefile

http://drupal.org/node/1045746 now exists.

webchick says in IRC she's going to work on this tonight... Yay!

I think this hunk undid a recent fix:

Otherwise, this looks like a great start. Thanks!
