[IMPORTANT] The controls team is moving repos

[Richard Bair]

This has now been completed, thanks Jonathan and the controls team for making the move so easy. Reducing the complexity of our build / test / integration is important both for allowing us to get more done with less effort (always a plus), but also in making it easier for everybody else to be able to clone from the right repos, follow the path of a fix as it goes through all the repos, test, etc. As of today, we're all working out of the "graphics" rt repo, and the master is just a read-only mirror of our once-per-week push.

I'm hopeful that with 9 we can omit the master entirely, and instead what we'll do is once a week (prior to JDK promotion), we will just tag the repo at a revision that constitutes "stable", and that we won't have to do integrations at all.
