Git migration

[David Edmundson]

Questions:

In Olli's talk he said they push proposed branches to their own personal 
directory on the collabora server. This was then reviewed.

Given we are using reviewboard, what is the process? My understanding was that 
reviewboard showed just a single diff, which means we won't get the breakdown 
of individual commits which is one of the main advantages of using git.

Who needs to review a patch before it can be merged? Just any one person? 
If hypothetically I wrote a patch for libktelepathy, how do I know who wants 
to review it before it can be merged. Say DrDanz gave it a review++, I can 
imagine George would still want to look at it before it's merged. His silence 
might either mean he's busy, or agrees with DrDanz... or is mid-review saying 
my patch is rubbish. I wouldn't know the state of it.
