How to migrate activity source control from laptop.org to sugarlabs.org.

Import a module from dev.laptop.org

• Create an account on http://git.sugarlabs.org
• Log in and create a new project from the projects page (please use only lower case, e.g. sugar, turtleart, sugar-toolkit).
• Clone your git module from dev.laptop.org, e.g.

git clone git://dev.laptop.org/projects/pippy-activity

• See all the remote branches with:

git remote show origin

• Check out the remote branches you want to migrate, e.g.

git checkout -b sucrose-0.82 origin/sucrose-0.82

• Push it to git.sugarlabs.org with something like:

git push gitorious@git.sugarlabs.org:pippy-activity/mainline.git 

• Add the pootle user as a committer (from the "add committer" link on the mainline page) and send mail to Sayamindu, to point pootle to new remote.
• Notify sugar-devel about the move.
• Make sure that sugar-jhbuild points to the new repository (ask someone to do it for you if you have no access)
