I don't see any problems here, though this tree still builds and boots
with a little help (at least with Madrid 0.6). If there are no
functional changes lost, then there's no problem in removing it.
Anything else needs to be resynced into the linux-2.4 tree anyways.

I wouldn't bother deleting it, its trivial to push outstanding
changesets into this to get it synced up with current 2.5. I have quite
a few changes pending in my local tree for sh64 on 2.5, so I'd like to
get the linux-2.4 stuff reintegrated into the linux-2.5 tree and start
pushing my local changes as soon as possible (of course there's no
gaurantee that the tree will be in a functional state, but it will
provide a location other then my home directory for people to monitor
2.5 developments for sh64).

I don't particularly see much reason to rename the project, but if
that's want you want to do, you'll have to take that up with bkbits
administrators. The hosted projects section on the BK site lists
su...@bi... as the contact.
