Switching Moodle main code repository to Git

From MoodleDocs

Changes on moodle.org servers

  2. take aways all CVS write access from main CVS moodle module at cvs.moodle.org (keep all contrib and lang modules unchanged)
  3. sync git cvshead with CVS HEAD - override CVS checkout with files from current cvshead Git branch, wait for update and fix any potential problems

  5. branch MOODLE_20_STABLE from CVS HEAD

  10. delete old cvshead branch in Git (the master is the correct name now)
  11. set up git commit hooks that push mirrors to Github and Gitorious (all 4 branches, we need to set up keys for the moodlerobot)
