As stated above, I'd like to request shell access to gcc.gnu.org to 
setup a git mirror of the GCC svn repository.  I'd also suggest Harvey 
Harrison as a co-maintainer of the mirror, as he helped setting it up on 
git.infradead.org.

At this time, the repository and git-svn metadata take up 2.5GB of disk 
space.  CPU usage is minimal.  I will just have to install a shell 
script running from my user crontab.

We don't require root access for ordinary maintenance, but someone would 
have to install and configure at least git-daemon and gitweb to make the 
mirror publicly accessible.

If it seems too much hassle for the benefit, we'll keep going with the 
existing git mirror on infradead.org, but I feel it would better serve 
our users and developers to at least mention it as an official mirror on 
our web site.

Thanks, Daniel!
