[development] Git-mirror of Drupal core now on Github

[Sam Boyer]

I'm assuming that your workflow looks something like this:

$ cd /path/to/local/git-cvsimport/of/drupal/core
$ git cvsimport -a
$ git push --mirror <remote ref name for your github repo>

Which will pull in all the recent changes from core, then push them out to 
your github repo. If that's the case, git-cvsimport doesn't put much strain 
on the servers, as it does its work by incrementally importing changesets. If 
you were very concerned about server load, you could always run the 
git-cvsimport off a copy of drupal cvs that you keep rsync'd locally, but I 
suspect that the performance impact on drupal's cvs server would be 
negligible in either case.

Of course, if we were talking contrib, that might be a little different... :)
