I agree that this really looks like it is legit. It looks like, for some reason (we don't believe in the legend version, do we?) they abruptly (the diff contains many normal changes also) stopped the development and are burning all the bridges. They also slightly changed the license so now the forks are free to not mention that they are based on TrueCrypt, they are not allowed to link to truecrypt.org site or mention the TrueCrypt name in their product's domain name. They also removed all the links to their site from the source code (even the donation page).

I dunno. We saw the legend version happening with a lot of people recently. Yep, we still mostly don't belive it, but...
What's the oposite to The Boy that Cried Wolf?

The entire source has been modified to reflect the Sourceforge page its contents. Encryption process is disabled. The current binaries can only be used to "migrate". You can deface a webpage but the effort it takes to rewrite the entire source code, compromise the GPG, compromise domain, compromise mail servers et cetera is not minimal.
It is happening. Whether they are being forced to do so is a whole different story.
