I've got a working commit hook for generating emails (thanks to Avi).  I 
have to submit this as a ticket to Savannah to have it installed.  This 
can take anywhere from a day to a couple weeks depending on how busy 
they are.  I'm going to have the script send to a dedicated mailing list.

Once that is setup, I'll have the current git tree mirror SVN for a 
while.  Perhaps a few weeks?  Enough time to give the current mirrors 
time to switch over from doing git-svn to doing a straight git pull.

Then we'll do a flag day and shut down the SVN repo and start committing 
to git.
