Two faults the first working rehearsal exposed.
rsync without -r reports 'skipping directory .' and transfers nothing,
so release-fetch created the directory, sorted no files and reported
success. The comment claiming -r was omitted on purpose was simply
wrong; the trees are excluded by pattern instead.
The auto-updater archives were being moved by release-fetch, which
writes them outside v<VERSION>. That contradicted the whole point of the
release-directory scope, which is that deleting one directory undoes it.
They are now autoupdate-publish's job, and it runs with the packages,
where the promotion stops being reversible anyway.
