[Feedhenry-raincatcher] RainCatcher Monorepo

[Wojciech Trocki]

Where is master :P ?

Import seems to be doing something we do not want - creating new branch for
each of the module. Best would be to have only 2 branches for that mono
repo:
- master (containing all modules from master with history)
- development (with all modules from development branch)

Having it this way would mean that we would not be able to have every
component on development branch.
If perl is a problem maybe we should use some different tools. Fastline
migration seems to be something we can use:
