[HECnet] PyDECnet 1.0-556

[Johnny Billquist]

I do not think that longer discussions about git are appropriate to have 
on this list. Sorry for starting this... Paul asked about feedback on 
switching to git. I just gave a small one-liner, half for fun. I totally 
do not like git, but if we really want to talk about the why behind it, 
we should find some other venue for that discussion.
