--add-metadata added.

Unfortunately the version of svn-all-fast-export which is installed on
Alioth does not support --svn-ignore, and the version where this flag
was added (1.0.10+git4158cb06-1) FTBFS with libsvn from wheezy.

I also tried to run svn-all-fast-export on my own server instead of
Alioth, but there it fails with assertion error.

I added two commands to my clean script:

- for tag in $(git tag --list 'backups/*'); do git tag -d $tag; done
- git gc --aggressive --prune=now

These two were removed from sid, so I am now also checking Vcs-Git in
stable.

k3b removed manually.

All done now. Should I delete their directories from SVN?

kio-gopher fixed manually.

For the remaining packages I think the best solution is deleting the old
tags from Salsa manually and maybe pushing the replacement tags.

My next step would be bulk updating Vcs-* fields in all repositories on
Salsa, migrated from both Git and Svn.
