Scratch that, git is more clever than I thought.. the cloned repo from
alioth is ~68MB although the repo I've used originally is ~200MB
(obviously due to all that svn churn). So, I'll push what I have to
pkg-openldap/openldap.git today, following the 'standard' branches;
'master' for packaging and 'upstream' for the upstream version current
packaging is based on.
