Hi Curtis,

Yes,  Christoph Hellwig created a repository with code
extracted from parted just before the deletion:

    http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hch/fsresize.git

But along with most of the rest of kernel.org, that has not
yet come back after their problem.

It's a fine start, and I expect to autoconfiscate it ASAP.
Let's see if Christoph (Cc'd) is going to republish the repository somewhere.
