eeek! change! nooooo! ;)

more seriously... scripty uses qt-copy.
so this'll have to happen after I write and test git support for scripty. :)
if I'm lucky this might be done by the end of the week - but no promises.

yes... we're going to need lots of nice readable documentation on a) how to 
use git for standard tasks and b) how to actually understand git :)

with a few warnings beforehand, I assume, because I'll probably forget all 
about it and end up copying the techbase instructions at the last minute... 
hmm, although it's not like you're going to rip qt-copy out of my hard drive. 
so as long as I don't try to svn up I won't even notice. :)
