[sakai-core-team] Work on migrating to github

[Matthew Jones]

But in git, you can specify a depth level right? Then you won't get a full
local history, and also won't get any of those other files either. I'm not
super concerned about the full history or how much is stored on github.
(They give you 1GB per repo which we are unlikely to hit)

Though it is probably nicer/easier to clean this up and filter this from
the history before the load than after, it looks like we could do it
sometime in the future too (https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/),
like maybe let next 2016's Earle worry about it. ;)
