-    <comment>The HEAD maps of datatools has not been used for some
-        time, since it is in maintenance mode only. So, for clarity, I
-        have deleted the HEAD files. The R1_5_5_maintenance (and/or
-        R1_5_5_patches) branches are the only ones that should have
-        valid data. Just in case, I did tag the HEAD versions before I
-        deleted them with v200806180436FinalHEAD in case there is ever
-        any doubt or something needs to be restored.</comment>
