It seems to be working for me:

The oldTrunk branch is many years out of date with respect to SVN trunk.

I should mention that I do have a private git copy of the full up-to-date
SVN repository. If we were to run into problems with SVN access, that
copy could be pushed to GitHub. I've also worked out a way to do the
"SCCS version" update for the VM version labeling on git rather than
SVN, so that is a solveable problem. But I am not interesting in tending
after another git repo as long as SVN remains available on squeakvm.org,
so it's private work for now.
