Mikhail, Thanks for the pointers. I dug back in the mail archives. Geir wrote:

I'd suggest that the two files that you mention which are "never used" probably don't qualify as "live material". ;-) So, now my question is when is it going to be expired? i'd suggest that anything moved to archive should have an expiry date set in a file or svn property when it is moved so it is clear when it will be removed. Personally, I still think having paths archive/modules and modules/archive is confusing. 99% of our users will never use the extra >1.5M overhead of "svn checkout" that 'archive' creates. The 1% who might want it can easily find it in svn. Regards, Mark.
