Ok, but concretely, who does what? If I understand correctly, there is not 
much more things below 697e24c18cc6 than file moves? What I think is that we 
could make a patch consisting of all wanted moves, and then strip the branch.

It would be nice if people feeling very fluent with hg could do this. I can 
assist by uploading the result or running the commands on hg.globulation2.org

Thank you, have a nice day,

Steph
