Junio: Because of

	for th in \
		"$T"/*.html "$T"/*.txt \
		"$T"/howto/*.txt "$T"/howto/*.html \
		"$T"/technical/*.txt "$T"/technical/*.html
	do
		h=`expr "$th" : "$strip_leading"'\(.*\)'`
		case "$h" in
		index.html) continue ;;
		esac
		test -f "$h" && continue
		echo >&2 "# rm -f $th"
		rm -f "$th"
	done

this would invalidate old URLs like

	http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/RelNotes-1.7.2.3.txt

, no?  Is there some easy way to set up the appropriate HTTP 301
responses?

Aside from that, this looks like a very good idea.
