#91: reorganize egg repository to cut down working copy size

 Reporter:  felix       |       Owner:       
     Type:  task        |      Status:  new  
 Priority:  major       |   Milestone:  4.3.0
Component:  extensions  |     Version:  4.2.x
 Keywords:  repository  |  
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Checking out the complete egg repository requires a considerable amount of
 disk space. During a discussion with ashinn, sjamaan, and mario, we came
 to the conclusion that it would be a win if one could merely check out the
 development sources, not the tagged copies. One possible new layout would
 be:

 {{{
 stable/release/4/spiffy.scm
 stable/release/4/spiffy.setup
 ...
 dev/release/4/spiffy/1.0
 dev/release/4/spiffy/1.1
 ...
 }}}

 Things to keep in mind:

  * the henrietta instances have to be updated to export from the correct
 URLs
  * the restructuring will invalidate all working copies and likely make it
 very difficult to check in uncommitted changes, so the change should be
 announced early enough and be done during of period in which no other repo
 access can take place
