True, the network page is still there for me. But
http://github.com/peterjc/biopython-seqio-quality/ which redirects to
http://github.com/peterjc/biopython-seqio-quality/tree/master
shows me just a "This repository is being deleted" page.

I don't think I had entirely understood github's use of fork versus branch.
I'll have so do some more reading and try again once my account has
settled down.  Thanks for the details in your email.
