No. A single directory should only be synchronized to a single
repository. If you want to use a local repository to keep old versions
of your own programs, I think you should put them in a separate
directory that is not updated automatically from the general
pywikipedia repository.

In general I don't feel a need to keep access to old versions of my
private experiments, so if there is no need to get them in the main
code (or if I am unable to upload, like I am at the moment (grmbl)) I
just keep them as unversioned files.
