This repository has been created using the command::
git cvsimport -v -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.pgfoundry.org:/cvsroot/repack -A pg_repack.auths -C pg_repack -k -r cvs pg_repack
with a suitably populated pg_repack.auths.

sure yet, so please consider this repository unstable until the development
model has been organized.
Please check the documentation (in the ``doc`` directory) for installation and
usage instructions.
