Re: Stage moved to GitHub

So that everyone doesn't try to log into Richard's account, the correct
URL is:

http://github.com/rtv/Stage

You can get a copy of the repository using this command:

$ git clone git://github.com/rtv/Stage.git

Git has a lot of advantages for a distributed-development project like
State. For those new to using git, I recommend having a read of the Pro
Git online book:

http://progit.org/book/

There is also an excellent set of help at github:

http://help.github.com/
http://learn.github.com/
