I agree, a redirect might be a good idea regardless of whether it's
something like "I'm a poor little NSLU2, please don't do anything but
incremental updates", or whether it's something like "this repository has
moved, use address xyz instead".
And it should be pretty easy from a high-level protocol, although it does
obviously need both server and client support.
