Following on from the discussion in the last Einstein Toolkit meeting, this is an update of the status of the transition from svn to git.

* (Almost) all Cactus and Einstein Toolkit arrangements have now been converted to git and merged into a one-repository-per-arrangement layout.

* The repositories are available on Bitbucket under the Cactus <https://bitbucket.org/cactuscode> and EinsteinToolkit <https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit> team pages.

* The git testing thornlist <http://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/manifest/trunk/git_testing.th> has been updated to point to the new repositories. I have verified that it is possible to checkout and build the Einstein Toolkit using this thornlist.

* The conversion process is automated using scripts provided in the ET git transition repository <https://bitbucket.org/ianhinder/etgittransition>.

* All master, ET release and Cactus release branches have been checked to perfectly match (i.e. no missing commits, no file differences) their svn counterparts. Similarly for the ET and Cactus release tags.

* There is a list of known outstanding issues available <https://bitbucket.org/ianhinder/etgittransition/src/master/issues.md>. It's likely that most, if not all of these issues are sufficiently minor that they can be ignored.

To proceed further it would be helpful if people (particularly those responsible for maintaining thorns and those who have opinions on how the final layout should appear) could take a look at the repositories and report any issues or suggested changes. In particular, it would be helpful to have feedback on how to handle AEIThorns, LSUThorns, ExternalLibraries, GRHydro, and the TAT thorns.
