OK, this will also make contributing easier for the new developers who 
know only git, since they will be able to checkout (clone) only trunk, 
branches and tags and submit patches with git format-patch. So they 
won't need to learn (or endure, depending on the individual 
inclinations) SVN to help.

One problem could be that we are not using a standard layout, not only 
because of the extra directories such as ooo-site, trunk-orig, etc. but 
also because we have both one- and two-deep directory levels in 
branches/ such as branches/AOO34/ and branches/alg/aw080/. Eventually 
these have to be consolidated to e.g. alg_aw080.
