[Systems] need help synchronizing git.olenepal.org with git.sugarlabs.org

[Bernie Innocenti]

Adding Johan and the Gitorious Google group on cc.

Context: we have a separate Gitorious instance in Kathmandu because
bandwidth to the US is too bad for versioning media-rich educational
activities.

Bryan, I'm not sure what's the proper level to hook in would be, but
maybe we could write a script which dumps the list of projects and
repositories in your instance, and adds whatever is missing to our
instance. If we do it right, repositories would be created automatically
by a separate "task performer" process.
