It moves old files and restores them when it's done. Still, with a CLI
push-script, something like Ctrl+C would interrupt createrepo in an
unwanted way and require manual cleanup. Hence a backup/restore mechanism
outside of it is good.

It seems createrepo 0.4.6 from 11-Aug-2006 is the only version after
0.4.4 (FC6).
