[Open-Legislation] French civil code on git

[Francis Davey]

It is certainly an easier and better way to consult diffs than (say) trying
to do so via legislation.gov.uk, though that may improve.

Github also makes it easy to clone the corpus elsewhere.

I agree that pull requests may be unrealistic, but there is nothing even
vaguely like that for professional engagement with UK legislation. Drafting
amendments to existing law would be easier if they could be submitted like
that.
