Just to let you all know, SubVersion branch "fixes_2_4" is now available
in the Git mirror as branch "fixes_2.4".

To view repository via a Web Browser:
  http://github.com/graemeg/freepascal

Git clone url:
  git://github.com/graemeg/freepascal.git

You don't need to do anything extra if your already cloned the Git
mirror or FPC. On your next pull, the "fixes_2.4" will be pulled as
well. I am using "cherry-pick" to keep the fixes_2.4 in sync with
SubVersion, so patches from trunk are reused in the Git fixes branch
(which adds very little overhead and size).
