Step one is not a major change, actually, as git supports renaming.  It 
keeps us from duplicating the assets (ipa.css, images) in both 
directories) as we can't really develop the migration page without being 
able to see them.   That is the only one needed.  Steps two and three 
are just logical cleanup steps.
