I'm not sure if we want to continue using different ogre repositories.
In my opinion using one repository, maybe with different branches, would
preserve the history. We can also create an ogre-1.12 one if that helps.

Yeah, we can always import your new package to either ogre-1.12 or just
an ogre repository later.
