Yes.  I will do a new release soon (there are very embarrasing errors
w.r.t. FT_Get_Advance which I'l fixing right now), then such a switch
would be nice.

We've discussed conversion to git earlier; you might look up the devel
archive for details.

Well, a direct import is trivial; however, it would be beneficial to
walk over, say, the last 1000 to 2000 commits so that all get a nice
one-line title.
