[IMP-dev] Preparation for release 1: Trying out git

[Daniel Russel <>]

As part of the upcoming release, we would like to switch over completely to git as it simplifies branch management a lot. As preparation for that, it would be nice if people try it out in their working setup a bit. To check out imp with git do
- get the code
  `git clone https://github.com/salilab/imp.git`
- setup things
  `./setup_git.sh`

Git may instruct you to set up your email address and name, if so, follow its instructions.

That will give you a repository that has the current state of the release candidate (which, for the time being is synced with svn). You then use it just like an svn checkout for building IMP. We can talk about committing things later.

When you want to update do
`git pull origin master`
