I'm very glad to see that Github staff is this responsive.
It gives confidence.
Now I have the problem that it appears many people are already using the
try-out import. I might want to delete it and do it for real
soon. Problem is that Google code doesn't support the read-only state
yet, only an ugly redirect (you can see this on my Zimbu project:
code.google.com/p/zimbu). And the repo still works, this is a weird state
that I don't want to put Vim into.

Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou

the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of
Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.
