Hmm, that may be technically correct but it is grossly misleading to
update the existing "was obtained on 2014-04-07" to "was obtained on
2015-04-27", especially if nothing was actually obtained, isn't it?
I honestly am surprised that, after seeing the announcement about "a
new repository, co-maintainer and multiple contributors", no code
change is made over the past 12 months.

I would understand it if the description were "The version in this
directory matches the upstream project as of 2015-04-27", though.
