The only reason I can think of why someone might still want that version
is if they're doing hacking on a pre-v10 branch and would like to indent
accordingly.  If we have someplace for historical versions, I'd suggest
moving this tarball to there, and replacing it with a README that says
"go here for pre-v10 pgindent, or there for modern versions".


Add it as a branch in the git repo and backpatch the pgindent README?

Hardly seems worth the hassle. It's not like back patches need tons of
worry about pgindent etc anyway.
