Preliminary implementation of server-side forking (issue 137)
The fork mechanism clones the repository , access restrictions, and
other config options. The app has been updated throughout to handle
personal repositories and to properly display origin/fork links.
In order to fork a repository the user account must have the #fork role,
the origin repository must permit forking, and the user account must
have standard clone permissions to the repository.
Because forking introduces a new user role no existing user accounts can
automatically begin forking a repository. This is both a pro and a con.
Since the fork has the same access restrictions as the origin repository,
those who can access the origin may also access the fork. This is intentional
to facilitate integration-manager workflow. The fork owner does have the
power to completely change the access restrictions of his/her fork.

+- Added simple project pages. A project is a subfolder off the *git.repositoriesFolder*.
+- Added support for personal repositories. This builds on the simple project pages.
+Personal repositories are stored in *git.repositoriesFolder*/*~username*. Each user with personal repositories will have a user page, something like the GitHub profile page. Personal repositories have all the same features as common repositories.
+- Added support for server-side forking of a repository to a personal repository (issue 137)
+In order to fork a repository to a personal clone, the user account must have the *fork* permission **and** the repository must *allow forks*. The clone inherits the access restrictions of its origin. i.e. if Team A has access to the origin repository, then by default Team A also has access to the fork. This is to facilitate collaboration. However, the fork owner may change access to the fork and add/remove users/teams, etc as required.
