Given that Allison merged only some parts of the 3.3.0 changes we'll have 
to redo the import (no need to rush, we can wait untill 3.3.0 gets uploaded)
maybe including also all the previous parrot versions. IMHO the cleanest 
solution would be to re-start with a blank repository, so that unused 
changes does not float around in the repository.

We should also arrange some sort of policy on how to interact with the
repository (e.g. [0], [1] and [2]) in order to avoid future problems.

Anyway, it seems like you forgot to push the git tags (do it with 
"git push --tags") :)
