I just meant "mean" in that it makes it harder for the project to be picked back up if there's renewed interest. I understand deleting SVN... because it's still in the history, but I think it's strange if ASF deleted GIT... because that deletes history. Perhaps just delete the GIT mirror on GitHub?
