I have added this to the list. But:
1. Given the restrictions Savannah has on shell access to repository
directories, I'm not sure it's possible at all. I have not been able
to find any way to force a repack remotely.
2. Really this could be done at any time relative to the switchover.
If Andreas can figure out a way to do it, "immediately" would be
the best time.
