I went and dug up the relevant ML posts [1] [2].

All in all, I still don't feel this warrants another full repository rewrite. 
We could just document the errata in a wiki page (or even a file in the 
repository itself), forget about the issues forever, and rename 
wesnoth/wesnoth-old to wesnoth/wesnoth to save everyone the inconvenience of 
having to explain what the "-old" suffix stands for every once in a while.

What do you think?

even *read* this post otherwise, if the activity in this thread so far is any 
indication.
