[Bioc-devel] Git transition -- regenerating repositories from svn

[Stephanie M. Gogarten]

I was actually thinking of SeqVarTools, since I have local commits that 
I'm not ready to push yet. GENESIS and GWASdata could be put on the "do 
not regenerate" list also - they have no unknown users, and I'd rather 
not go through all the steps again if I don't have to.

thanks,
Stephanie
