Yep, agreed. The only need could be for historical data of removed
files, but well....not that important.

More important=A0: let's wait for Alex to ACK the proposed switch so that
he does not try to commit in the old repository while you're moving
it.

Nicolas is away, IIRC, so it shouldn't be a problem (unless he's
back..:-))).

Anyway, before switching, post an announce here. At least 12 hours
before doing the switch.

Of course, please create a "sarge" real branch instead of a
directory. We even might need another branch when doing the sync with
4.0.{8|9} later...
