It is going to be a while before things stabilize.  And even when they 
do I am going to want to forced updates on topic branches.  So if you 
could leave it unlocked for the time being (or at least until you can 
make it only for the master branch) it will be appreciated.

Also, I would like to request two additional git repositories for my 
project.  (if you want to to submit a support request instead, let me know):

0) Description for the main repo can be just "GNU Aspell"

1) aspell-lang: this will be the git repo for the aspell-lang module in 
CVS.  I guess you can describe it as "GNU Aspell Language Toolkit".

2) aspell-cvs: this is the real conversion from CVS.  The conversion is 
a mess and I may redo it several times so I don't wan't to base commits 
off of it, instead I intend to use via graft points.  You can describe 
it as "GNU Aspell CVS Conversion".

Please also leave (1) and (2) open for non-fast-forward updates.  For 
(2) no data will ever be lost as that will be a straight conversion from 
CVS with no new commits, but I might redo it from time to time (which is 
why it is not part of the main repo.)

Thanks,
Kevin
