FYI - LLVM migration to Git and GitHub has started

[Warner Losh]

Vendor branches break. Our work flow breaks. Some committers have "terms of
service" wrt de-platforming. The release engineer won't be able to build
releases due to SVN integration. Just moving to github is non-starter at
the moment. It won't happen without careful planning. Planning that's on
going at the moment.

LLVM didn't "just move to github" either. They had a significant transition
period. We are studying their move to speed our transition to git.
