That's a double-edged sword ... if we keep the hg repo around, there
might be people who have checked it out and try to "hg update" it now
and then. They will not notice that we switched to mercurial as long as
there is no error...

But ok, everybody using the latest release should still get valid
links. So I'd suggest to keep it around until we released another public
version, but then decomission it immediately afterwards.

That's unfortunate ... I'll try to set up a cron job that copies the
files from git to the webserver...
