Move all srcdata files to new repo
New Repo for all source data: https://github.com/FreeCol/freecol-source-data, which supports Git LFS
There are three things I don't like about this approach:
- We lose the revision history for all the files a second time (unlike the code, the revision history was not maintained when the files were moved from Subversion to Git). I would like us to recreate the entire revision history when creating a new repo.
- The master for the other repositories are all on SourceForge. Please note that it's not possible to move all the repositories over to Github since we have multi-GB-sized files for 3D projects (and these are too big for Github).
- I don't think we need git-lfs for simple picture files ... even when binary. We are probably better off just having a normal (separate) repository for these files.
To summarize: I think we should create a new git repo on SF.net, and use the freecol-bot for mirroring to Github just like we do for our main repository. This repository should be created using a rewritten history from the Old-SVN and current Git repo.
