Well, we typically don't remove old versions in the Subversion 
repository.  I suggest keeping both in the svn repository and having the 
README suggest the Python one over the Bourne shell version.

For example, check out check-case-insensitive.pl and 
check-case-insensitive.py in

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/
