Oh, I didn't realise this.  Is the loser dataset currently
publicly-accessible via a web URL?

The reason for asking is that I'd like to experiment with Github CI checks
as a means of avoiding a lot of the mess I've had to clean up in dozens of
changesets this morning.  However this can only be done for free if the
repository is public, which my current loser repo is not.

If the existing dataset isn't publicly-accessible, I would have to ask
Robert first, not least since we have datasets from other groups (e.g. RKH)
in ours now.

When was there a numpty-rescue from Eishöhle, and do you know what happened?

P.S. I have a full git tree now, but I need to do some more rebasing, as I
think I've found some more ARGE data that isn't in the correct place.  I'm
also going to try to make a tag after each year and attempt to get Survex
to compile the dataset at each of those tags...
