git is live

[Fred Cooke]

That's a real shame. A possible and wasteful (resource wise) solution
might be to have a second url/repo binutlils-gdb-contrib or whatever.
If done locally on the same server, it could share hard links and not
take up much space, but I can see the majority hating this idea, and
that's fair enough.
