That looks like a mirror of rsync.zsh.org::pub/old/.

cwd here is the private lists' archive directory on zsh.org.  I chose
that directory because it's already set to be backed up, but isn't
public; I didn't want to serve random files that would look like zsh
historical artifacts but may or may not be what they seem to be.

Eric's stuff are «git clone --mirror» clones.

Some of the data in old-zsh.tar.xz is already in pub/old/, but I didn't
want to start picking and choosing.

Bart's rpi.edu stuff isn't fetched yet because «wget -r -np» doesn't
seem to be a very efficient or netiquettey way of grabbing that dataset.
Anyone has a better idea?

Cheers,

Daniel
