I was informed of missing version branches, missing history in one
repo past a move in SVN, and repositories in which entire files are
missing throughout the entire repo history. Please get in touch with
Nicolás for more. I'm actually not on top of the details myself as
he is the expert, but from what he told me, and feel free to dis-
agree about my judgement, it felt like the best move was to pull
the plug until at least further research was done.

Based on the above at least some 4.x and master refs likely _will_
change, but yeah, shouldn't be the end of the world.

I'm not interested in calling you any names. You're still awe-
some for stepping up to do this conversion at all; it's not like
there's a queue down the block of peope wanting to do this work.
There was plenty of opportunity to get caring and help you and
not enough people did, so we all collectively dropped the ball
on this one (with the exception of Nicolás who, while most
qualified, simply can't be everywhere at once: he was working
on kdegames).
