This is pretty easy: cp -p archive/libxml2.mcp.xml.sit.hqx . What Git commands do you need to execute to even find libxml2.mcp.xml.sit.hqx?

Rather than deleting them, how about moving them to archive/ or similar. If they are archived they will still be available in case some folks are using them. In the case of Visual Studio 2010, the IDE will auto-update the project files to whatever version is being used. So VS2010 is not obsolete (yet).

[xml] Intent to remove build systems for outdated platforms
I plan to remove several directories from the libxml2 repo containing build systems for outdated platforms. VxWorks https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/tree/master/VxWorks Bakefile https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/tree/master/bakefile MacOS 9 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/tree/master/macos VMS https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/tree/master/vms Windows CE https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/tree/master/win32/wince Visual Studio 2010 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/tree/master/win32/VC10 These files haven’t been updated in 10+ years and most likely broken.
