Probably accidentally discarded. The original dump was one repository
containing both Multipole and WeylScal4.

I am not quite sure anymore but I think the idea was to keep the old
history around. The subversion dump with all the old history is still
around (in my email archives) so if one has a dump of the current
repository one can merge them and produce a single retconned version
history out of them. I would think though that this would require all
users to create fresh checkouts of the repository since at least the
revision numbers change.

Are we still "not released" enough that this is an option?

Yours,
Roland
