The "mw-to-git" directory contains tools for accessing MediaWiki via
Git. The scripts are essentially unmaintained in Git: despite a couple
of global cleanups, the last changes were a couple of security-related
issues part of 9a8606465e8 (remote-mediawiki: use "sh" to eliminate
unquoted commands, 2020-09-21) and its parents. We don't ever run any of
the tests so it is more likely than not that many of the tests have been
bitrotting, like e.g. documented in f8ab018dafc (remote-mediawiki tests:
annotate failing tests, 2020-09-21).
According to Matthieu Moy [1], one of the original developers of this
tool, it didn't receive any attention recently and there is no
motivation to keep maintaining it anymore in the community. The project
has been spun out of Git [2] and thus has a new official home, but did
not receive much attention over there, either.
As such, it seems like the MediaWiki transport helper is slowly fading
away. But given that there is a new home, it doesn't make sense to have
it as part of Git anymore only to let it rot. Remove the directory.

Explicitly set the default goal at the very top of various makefiles.
This is already present in some makefiles, but not all of them.
In particular, this corrects a regression introduced in a38edab7c8
(Makefile: generate doc versions via GIT-VERSION-GEN, 2024-12-06). That
commit added some config files as build targets for the Documentation
directory, and put the target configuration in a sensible place.
Unfortunately, that sensible place was above any other build target
definitions, meaning the default goal changed to being those
configuration files only, rather than the HTML and man page
documentation.

In order to test git-remote-mediawiki, a set of functions is needed to
manage a MediaWiki: edit a page, remove a page, fetch a page, fetch all
pages on a given wiki.
A few helper function are also provided to check the content of
directories.
In addition, this patch provides Makefiles to execute tests.
See the README file for more details.
