Since we have had 2-3 incidents recently, it is time now to make a fresh 
clone using a recent version of Mercurial (not the 1.0 we've had in 2008). 
I have already recovered most of the meta-information that is required for 
this (Unix permissions etc.).

Alex, just say when you are finished with the investigations of the 
existing clone.

A bit later we just switch the directories of the old vs. new central 
clone, which means two atomic "mv" operations on the local file system.
