I believe the following come from the gcc2 repository and should use that
namespace: everything in the history of /branches/premerge-fsf-branch.
That is: all revisions of /branches/premerge-fsf-branch itself, plus
revisions 1 to 14639 of trunk.
Everything else uses the gcc.gnu.org namespace.

I believe the following is a complete set of usernames that appear in both
sets. Most of these are probably not ambiguous, but it will be necessary
to check each carefully. All other usernames appear in only one set of
names and so are unambiguous (assuming that no username was reused for
different people on the same system, which seems a reasonable assumption
unless anyone knows of relevant exceptions).
