Well, I uploaded the SVN branches, for now. You can find them in the "git 
browse" section or you could just clone the repository.

To do so, just run: git clone <url>. Developers with write access should use 
the read/write url from http://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=git&group_id=143459 
and everybody else uses the read-only url.

After that, you can start working. I'm going to add some hints, how to use git 
on the command line, to the wiki, which should make your lives more easy ;) 
Remember: you don't write anything to the remote repository until you do a 
"git push". This means, you can commit anything you want to your local 
repository and change that, as you like, until you push everything. After 
pushing it's still possible to "rewrite history", but this should be used in 
an emergency only. It desynchronises all other repositories, so they have to 
sync manually after that. It works, I tried it, but it's not fun ;)
