[gmx-developers] Switching Infrastructure to Gitlab

[Paul bauer]

Hello gmx developers,

I just finished the migration of the Redmine database to Gitlab, and 
have set up the repository there to be available for general development.
This involved some renaming shenanigans that will mean you will have to 
star the project again, but I think this is a price worth paying for 
having a clean repo :)

The repository is now available under https://gitlab.com/gromacs/gromacs 
(just as before), but with a different project id if you have been using 
the RestAPI to access it.
The old mirror can still be accessed under 
https://gitlab.com/gromacs/gromacs-mirror, but is essentially read only.

Hope that we can all be productive in the new environment, and please 
let me know if there are any strange issues coming up.

Cheers

Paul
