The git repo is now our main repo. The svn repo is now read-only.
The code freeze is over.
Easiest to check out https://github.com/apache/poi

Our docs need to be updated to reference the git repo instead of svn. I'll look 
at this over the next few days.

The docs could be an issue for a while as the poi-site svn has not been moved 
nor has the symlink.
Working Copy Root Path: $POI_HOME/src/documentation
URL: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/site/src/documentation

I'm going to propose that we just move the files to src/documentation in 
https://github.com/apache/poi (no symlink).

I can set up a new branch in apache/poi to publish the poi.apache.org website. 
The website would refresh when that branch is updated. `asf-site` is the usual 
branch name in ASF repos.

This is controlled by the `.asf.yaml` file that is in the root of our code.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=INFRA&title=Git+-+.asf.yaml+features#Git.asf.yamlfeatures-Introduction

If there are no objections, I can look into getting the website publishing 
working from our git repo in a few days.
