Strange idea : I thought fortran was still faster.

That means removing the current git repository and then either finding
the script used to move the svn repositories to git during the migration
(keeping the whole history), or using "gbp import-dsc" (or better: gbp
import-dscs) (keeping a partial history).

I'm currently having a look at how much the existing patches have to be
changed for 6.0.0. In fact, I'm surprised there are so much of them: why
aren't they upstream?
The fact that git.scilab.org and bugzilla.scilab.org aren't available
doesn't help :-/
