Complete Re: Moving the Repo

The repository migration is complete. All files that were in the wcag21 
repository are now in the wcag repository, and all people who had commit 
access to the wcag21 repository now have commit access to the wcag 
repository. See:

https://github.com/w3c/wcag

There is a folder there that wasn't in the wcag21 repository, called 
"wcag20". This contains files that were used for WCAG 2.0, and should no 
longer be edited, but are retained for archival reasons.

It's a virtual guarantee something will not work as expected as a result 
of this migration. If you encounter any problems, let me know.

I will work on migrating issues a bit later.

Prior to migrating content, I merged most open pull requests and 
Understanding branches. It is possible some of that content was not in 
fact ready to be merged, but it would be harder to sort it out after the 
migration. It is possible to revert the changes introduced by the merges 
if needed.

Because they were all merged, I did not migrate the Understanding 
branches. I plan to recreate them soon to support further work.

I migrated all the branches with names starting with "tech-" so work on 
techniques can pick up in the new locations.

There were a couple technique branches that had been started before we 
introduced the new process to work on techniques. If have content in 
those branches you still want to work on, let me know and I'll help 
decide the best way forward.

There are some other branches that seemed to have stale content, which I 
did not merge or migrate. If there is a branch in the wcag21 repository 
containing content you think still should be available for development 
after the migration, let me know. You can look through them at 
https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/branches.

There is a branch named "WCAG_2.1" which is a snapshot of the WCAG 2.1 
Recommendation (modulo the boilerplate) and not for editing. Mostly we 
will work on future versions of WCAG in the master branch, but if we 
decide something should be an erratum for WCAG 2.1, we will put it in 
this branch as well, and potentially could eventually publish an Edited 
or Amended Recommendation to incorporate those into the official version.
