Development announcement: Movement to Git

[Yggdrasil]

We switched our version control system from subversion to git. So, all early testers which are currently using subversion to get the latest code, please switch to our new git repository.

See the compile guide for instructions:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/glestae/wiki/CompileGuide
(Mac will be updated very soon)

If you're unfamiliar with git, this might be a nice guide:

Awesome!!!!  GIS is also using git ... maybe all of the glest community can be unified eventually with git?

Don't forgot to update the windows guide!

I've updated the Windows Guide. I haven't actually tried with Tortoise Git since I use Git Extensions (see the other guide) but it should work.
