Proofread done, I've compared all the tickets between GitHub and Trac, 
and fixed a few (minor) nits on formatting and non-ASCII chars stripped 
notably.

As far as I am concerned, over all the years with Trac, I admit not 
having used the composant (storage, history...).  The other labels are 
classic (duplicate, enhancement, wontfix, priority...) and could be kept.
We can clean up the labels when and if there is more activity in the bug 
tracker (that is to say more people using it).  One may like the 
composant label.

I've added a .gitignore file at the top level of the 2.6 and main branches.
As we no longer work on the other branches (except for URL fixes in 
documentation), I've not touched them.


>>> drop $Id$ strings (Git doesn't support them)

Next thing I will have a look at.

Normally done on 2.6 and main.

Champ'!  We can open a bottle :-)
