VDrift Data on GitHub

[NaN]

@logzero if you think it's a good idea and want to handle the switch over, I'm OK with it, though make sure you disable (or remove from the UI) the auto-update stuff, since that scrapes the SVN repo.

I'd prefer to keep auto-update functionality, make it a blocker for data to github move.

@BiGBeN87 We need to add github support to auto update. Any ideas or maybe even a patch?

I've been playing a bit with github:

Code:

Get data content:
curl -k https://api.github.com/repos/bigben87/VDrift-Data/git/trees/master

Parse cars directory url:
{
      "type": "tree",
      "path": "cars",
      "mode": "040000",
      "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/bigben87/VDrift-Data/git/trees/de24ce5756a6e05d380f76a294d952592ce411cb",
      "sha": "de24ce5756a6e05d380f76a294d952592ce411cb"
}

Get car directory content:
curl -k https://api.github.com/repos/bigben87/VDrift-Data/git/trees/de24ce5756a6e05d380f76a294d952592ce411cb

Compare SHA hashes to find modified cars.

Btw ptree_inf is "almost" json. Adding a ptree_json to process github output should be quite simple. Or we could add a json lib as dependency.
