+A **git** mirror also runs in parallel, pushed to `gitea.romfast.ro:romfast/roacont.git`.
+SVN remains the "live" source of truth; git is synced to it manually, not the other way
+around. `.svn/` is git-ignored. `COMUN/` is excluded from this repo's git (see `.gitignore`)
+because it's shared by every ROA product and is versioned by its **own separate git repo**,
