Hi,

More than a year ago, I added a pointer from
https://github.com/prometheus/nagios_plugins (the "old repo") to its
fork https://github.com/magenta-aps/check_prometheus_metric (the "new
repo"), see https://github.com/prometheus/nagios_plugins/pull/26 .

I've never heard any complaints about the new plugin, so I think it's
about time to properly deprecate the old repo.

First of all: Does anyone have any objections?

Assuming we can go forward with it: What do you think is the best
procedure? Ideally, we would redirect from the old to the new
repo. However, that's not as easy as it looks. So far, I think this
would require the following gymnastics:

- Delete the new repo.
- Transfer the ownership of the old repo to magenta-aps with
  the same name as the (deleted) new repo.
- Replay all the commits that happened in the new repo to the
  transfered repo to make it appear like the new repo before,
  just not as a fork.

Does anyone have a better idea?

And if not, should we really do that or would it be better to apply less
magic, just put a big and fat deprecation warning onto the old repo,
and graveyard it after another half year or so?

Any feedback welcome.
