Use existing "Source Control" menu

Instead of creating a new "Github" menu bar item, the plug-in should use the pre-existing "Source Control" menu (maybe with a "Github" submenu). A whole new menu item with only two entries takes up a lot of precious menu real estate.
Hmm, I suppose people might get a little confused, but I don't think a popup message is a good solution—it interrupts a user's workflow and I'd be pretty annoyed if plugins started popping up alerts when I launch Xcode. And really, the Source Control menu is a pretty intuitive place to look for github-related features.
You could change the text in the Alcatraz blurb to "Open the related Github page of a source file directly from the Source Control menu in Xcode", which would go a long way. Also, users can always search directly for specific menu items via the Help > Search menu item.
Nice job with the plugin so far!
+1 for this change. And no, I don't think any migration is necessary: I imagine most users are using the keyboard shortcut; and I think adding a menu item (to the eleven already present!) is wasteful.
