hammer2 branch in dragonfly repo created - won't be operational for 6-12 months.

[Zenny]

Hi Matt:

I am incurably interested to experience HAMMER2. Is there any progress
report? If there is any, can it be tested in production environment? I
am for replacing ZFS with HAMMER2 (meaning switch completely to
DragonFlyBSD 3.x).

Keep up the marvellous work!

Season's greetings!
