Hi,

Being on vacation is funny. Suddenly you are confined to a laptop and
using your cellphone as an internet gateway. Materializing a workspace
with the Buckminster code base in that environment is challenging when
using SVN. This gave me the final incentive to go ahead and resolve:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=341718
"Move Buckminster code base to Git"

The transition is now complete and I was just able to materialize a
brand new workspace (still using my cellphone) in less than 3 minutes.

Bye bye SVN...

PS.
This means that we're switching qualifier generation on all Buckminster
features and bundles since we no longer can rely on the SVN revision
number. Git commit-id's doesn't come in lexical order so we will
henceforth use timestamps.
