New development repository location.

[Tobias C. Berner]

Hi Dwayne

Thanks for the offer, patches and problem reports are always welcome.

Syncing involes merging in the change from master, and fixing the
conflicts, and then pushing it back up again.
So it shouldn't take us too long to do it, it's more just remembering
to do it :D
