[TYPO3-core] SVN read access to master via github.com possible

[Ernesto Baschny [cron IT]]

Hi,

there were several reasons for this choice. None of the options we had
(submodules or subtree merges) is 100% optimal to meet all target
audiences' desires (developers, release managers, testers, users ...)
but this seemed to be the most consistent one.

Our packaging system now has methods to very easily generate snapshots
of our current source base, so in future we will be able to provide
"daily snapshots" out of our core tree.

Updating from "git" allows you to fetch the submodules together with the
core, you simply have to call git submodule update after the git pull.

Cheers,
Ernesto
