I used the current gnome git mirror and pushed the resulting branches to
fdo.  Presumably git-mirror.g.o had this already set up.  Perhaps they
didn't, and thus perhaps I have to do a git-svn checkout myself.

That was just there when Adam and were trying to figure out what magic
cgit needs to get the NM repo to show up on git.freedesktop.org.

I certainly don't have root on git.fdo, and thus I can't create the
original project.  Here's what I did:

git clone from gnome git mirror of NM SVN
create local branches for remote branches
inspect everything
git push <fdo git> master
git push <fdo git> other branches

Is there something wrong with that procedure?
