Oh, I didn't think about splitting the code into two different
repositores, only about reorganizing inside the repository.

Yes, if you want to split your code into different repositories, this
will be the easiest way, I think.

I don't have any preferences, and yesterday? :-)

To be serious: Just announce the move on the mailing lists, then shut
