Good idea. Don't forget to add a THIS_REPOSITORY_IS_DEAD marker in a conspicuous place, say next to README.

I would vote for taking all of the relevant history from that module and pulling that into a workbook/ directory. It's better if the repo is self-contained. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanwen@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
