Comment (by cohosh):

 Okay here's a test-run of how this could look. I ran the following
 commands from the snowflake repository root:

 `$ git subtree split -P proxy proxy-only`
 `$ mkdir ../snowflake-webext`
 `$ cd ../snowflake-webext`
 `$ git init`
 `$ git pull ../snowflake proxy-only`

 This split out the proxy subdirectory into it's own repo, which you can
 see here: https://github.com/cohosh/snowflake-webext

 I had to do a couple fixes to get submodules working:
 https://github.com/cohosh/snowflake-
 webext/commit/70f32b18afb48e97d7a3794f952fb6dbcc7ce690

 And then transferring the tags was tricky because this command changes the
 commit hashes. I did this manually and then pushed all the tags to the
 remote using `git push <remote> --tags`.

 The original snowflake repository keeps all the commit history and all the
 old tags. I cleaned it up a bit in this branch:
 https://github.com/cohosh/snowflake/tree/ticket/33593
 The changes I made were to:
 - Remove the translation submodule
 - Remove the proxy/ subdirectory
 - Remove web proxy instructions from README.md
 - tagged snowflake as v1.0.0

 If everyone is okay with this plan we can create a new snowflake-webext
 repository on gitweb.tp.o and then once that's up and running, merge this
 branch to master on the main snowflake repository.
