[Paraview] Paraview/Kitware site down

[Berk Geveci]

We actually have an internal git that tracks the ParaView cvs. Some us
(including me) has been using it for a while now.  It is not totally
issue free (mostly due to the cvs-git bridge) so we don't plan to make
it public. I suspect that we will move to svn at one point and
possibly provide a git repository that tracks it so that people can do
the initial clone. After that, git-svn works very well. We don't have
any plans to completely move to git as it is not as Windows friendly
as we would like. All Windows ports of git require the installation of
some sort of Unix-like layer and are also very slow.
