I've actually downloaded the test-output for 2.15.30 - 39 in case anyone 
objects, and it looks like the upload is back running again.  I'll leave it 
another day or so, but then plan to *delete* all the 2.15 files, except 
15.95.

We also have source files back to 0.0 and 1.0.  I assume we could never 
recreate these from Git, but are we ever going to need to?  It certainly 
seems pointless keeping lots of source tarballs, given that all the more 
recent history is in Git.
