Well ... I guess the other attitude we could take is that that was a
private development branch of Michael's.  If we'd been working in git
at the time, that branch would never have been seen outside his personal
repository, most likely.  The changes did eventually get merged back to
HEAD, so we'd not be losing anything critical if we just dropped the
branch altogether.  Anybody else have an opinion on what to do with it?
