We’ll also have to update our deployment system. Beyond that, nothing comes to mind as an issue, but I do question the necessity of this pruning...<br><div><div><br><div>

If you work on one of these "--<number>" repos, could you spend a few minutes thinking of why it would be unsafe to delete the old repos and rename the current one to its rightful name and throw it into this thread as a reply?
