I agree, but I think we should try to separate out the "wisdom" parts
from the artifacts of the implementation.

For example, I (and others) want to keep the concept of a stable nightly
snapshot.  That could be implemented as a separate clone workspace, as
it is today with Teamware.  But with Mercurial it could also be
implemented as a tag in a single gate workspace.

I don't see that we need to throw away all the current code, but I
haven't looked at the gk tools.  If it's easier to rewrite from scratch
than modify the current stuff, then that's what we should do.
