[lsimons@giraffe excalibur]$ find . -name 'project.xml' -maxdepth 3 ! 
-path '*compatibility*' | xargs grep -H 'excalibur-compatibility'
./trunk/monitor/project.xml:            <id>excalibur-compatibility</id>

I think that's an error (was looking into that the other day but got 
sidetracked), but lets be sure.

+1 to the nuking...but I don't like the first bullet nor the last two. 
Why not just a

svn copy -m "excalibur-compatibility is put in graveyard mode..." \
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/excalibur/trunk/compatibility \
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/excalibur/tags/Excalibur-Compatibility-Archived

svn delete -m "excalibur-compatibility is put in graveyard mode..." \
   https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/excalibur/trunk/compatibility

with subversion, we don't have to go through a lot of trouble to keep 
the filesystem clean -- we have a DB now!
