Official git repo for numactl (any other VCS would be fine as well)

Hi Cliff,

Any chance to set up an official git repository for the numactl source code?

This was asked before but not sure it was set up...
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.numa/704

Looking at numactl-2.0.10-rc1.tar.gz, there are some minor issues with
the distribution, such as:
- an empty "numastat" and a x86_64 binary "test/move_pages" are
included in the tarball
- many source code files are marked executable

Furthermore, a central git repository would make it easy to distribute
a central .gitignore file which would make it easier to develop using
git.

I also have some improvements to the Makefile by cleaning up temporary
files used for detecting features (such as "threadtest", "empty.c" and
"empty.o") and renaming second use of $(THREAD_SUPPORT) to
$(TREE_VECTORIZE_SUPPORT) since that's what that feature seems to be
detecting...

I'd be happy to help set up a git repository, except that I don't
really have access to the code history, so I guess the best I could do
is build it from the unpacked sources present in old_versions/ of the
download FTP site, which would be fairly coarse... If you have better
tracking of the history, do you think it would be worth exposing it?

Thanks!
Filipe
