[sakai-pmc] PROPOSAL: svn cleanup

[Jean-Francois Leveque]

-1 until I'm sure it won't generate more work to keep 2.8 and 2.9 tags 
and branches working.

I think your proposal should avoid any change that might impact 2.8 and 
2.9 tags and branches. What about not touching the projects included in 
those tags and branches?

regards,
J-F
