I'm hoping to avoid confusing new contributors -- if we don't use
the web/ branch, then there's a danger that somebody might start
working on files in there.  Basically, I *do* want to make it
harder for people to find stuff that they don't actually want to
find.

However, I've discovered that git can rename branches, so we could
call them archive/web and archive/web-gop instead.  That should be
clear enough to avoid confusion.

Cheers,
