[Halld-offline] GlueX software on GitHub, trial port

[Mark Ito]

Hovanes,

I think that what you describe is good model for how we manage things in 
the future if we go with git. I spoke with Steve Wood yesterday, and 
this practice if very close to what Hall C is doing. It does require 
everyone to get a GitHub account, but that is not too hard to do.
