What was in the back of my mind was that we'd go around and mass-remove
$PostgreSQL$ (and any other lurking tags), but only from HEAD and only
after the repo conversion.  Although just before it would be okay too.
The stickier part of this is what to do about back branches;
particularly whether we are okay with checked-out versions of past
releases not matching the actual shipped tarballs on this point.
