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

[Mikkel Høgh]

Yeah, that's basically my cron-script sans a bit of the nitty-gritty  
details, but it is an incremental operation, although the average  
runtime is around 13 seconds when there are no changes.

I've upped the frequency, so it now runs at :07 every hour :)
