The migration step, are meant to be done by ./download (see function
source_file_bootstrap())  of the build-repo, which need to be
regenerated from download.in,

hence  the section
******** Attention *******
If you have an existing setup, _when_ the changes are pushed to master
and you pull them for the first time, you _HAVE_ to re-do your
autogen.sh and ./download step.
These have been modified to detect the situation where you still have
the old directory setup and convert it automatically during the
./download step.
Failure to do so will use outdated version of ./configure ./download
and other support scripts, which is guarantee to end poorly.
********
 in the post I made describing the up-comming changes

Note the the links in ./bootstrap/ are generated during  ./g clone or ./g pull.
(./bin/g now redirect to ./bootstrap/g)

they can also be regenerated with:

cd bootstrap
./bin/create_bootstrap_links

Yep, I haven't taken into account the src directory... Missed that one, sorry.
