[CIG-SHORT] Move to Git repositories

[Brad Aagaard]

Sylvain,

I recommend you make the switch too. PETSc switched from mercurial to 
git. Matt Knepley and Jed Brown can give you a detailed explanation of 
the benefits. It should be even easier to switch Relax to git since it 
is a separate repository. We are planning to switch PyLith and its 
dependencies to git this summer.
