   Everything is done manually.  If this gets used as the source for 
mirror downloads, I'd likely remove the version numbers (with a mention 
in the readme) so that out-of-date pages will continue to link to 
working bundles.  And right now I blow away the repo entirely instead of 
updating it, but I can just set up a different process to redact the old 
bundle commits and add new ones.  (Rather than have git store all the 
outdated bundles, which could get problematic when cloning).
