  That's a good point, yes.  Also if someone wants to checkout an older,
tagged version, such as netbsd-1-5, we still need this on the server. 
So just forget about my previous proposition :-)  We might eventually
think about purging old entries from the repository (and making them
available under pkgsrc-old or some such), but for the moment I don't
think this would be a good idea ;-)
