Good news: we discovered a new backup from May 27th.
After tests, it appears to be a complete backup.
We've added a new backup-20090527 directory.
It's available for cvs/svn/git/hg.
We're replicating to the disk at the moment (right now it's a
read-only remote mount).
If you want to use it instead of the April backup, you can modify your
support request.
