I do not support making a new distro subdir by simply cloning the old. 
This is a great chance to prune out lots of old crap that doesn't 
build, stop relying on system hacks like X11 symlink, stop carrying 
forward -shlibs stub packages from old libversions, etc. However, 
cloning the old into a holding-pen in git (preserving history) and then 
using that for selective manual moving into the live distro still 
within git gives us history linkage. New dist would essentially be a 
fork or branch.
