[h323plus] Repository conversion

I would agree with Jan as we are the two main contributors to h323plus and
GnuGk it would probably not be worth the effort.
If we were to start over as a fresh project then we would probably go with
GIT.

Hi,

personally, I don't really see much gain in a conversion to SVN.

For a fresh project I'd probably use something modern like git, but for
H323Plus (and GnuGk) I don't think the conversion is with the effort.

Just my 5 cents,
Jan
