Why no real announcement of this?

See the homepage. When the git repo is finalized it'll be announced - we're currently splitting things up so it's faster to clone (no need for ancient history for most devs) while still allowing full history if you want it.

Is there a HowTo that describes how I make changes to the XBMC repository? I'm familiar with SVN but I don't really understand how GIT works so I don't know what the git equivalent of "svn commit" is or how it works.
Do the svn username and password I had work with git, or do i need to request a new account?

Has anybody who had a fork on GitHub from the old xbmc tree already moved to a fork of the new xbmc tree? I tried to use the "Fork" button on the new XBMC tree "xbmc/xbmc" (the old one being "xbmc/xbmc-antiquated") but it just forwards me to my already existing fork of "xbmc/xbmc-antiquated". What is the best way to get a new fork and being able to move all custom commits from the old fork to the new one? I thought of doing a git rebase (never used it before though) but I can't even get a new fork...

you'll have to rename your previous fork first to anything other than "xbmc". then you'll have to create a new fork.
move or delete your earlier checked out sources and git clone your newly created fork.
if you had patches earlier, apply them again (hint: git format-patch & git am).
push it to your repo (origin/master) and your done.

Found a problem with PVR? Report it on Trac, under "PVR - core components". Please attach the full debug log.
