OK, in that case. from my repos you can really delete (since wifi-scanning
seems to be already moved to the wiki as tar.bz2):

gjc/ns-3-allinone <http://code.nsnam.org/gjc/ns-3-allinone/>
gjc/ns-3-tap-netdevice <http://code.nsnam.org/gjc/ns-3-tap-netdevice/>
gjc/ns-3-waf1.5 <http://code.nsnam.org/gjc/ns-3-waf1.5/>
gjc/ns-3-waf154 <http://code.nsnam.org/gjc/ns-3-waf154/>
gjc/ns-3-dev-flowmon <http://code.nsnam.org/gjc/ns-3-dev-flowmon/>

You should keep for a long time:
 gjc/ns-3-flowmon <http://code.nsnam.org/gjc/ns-3-flowmon/>   (some
benchmark scripts in there that are not ported to ns-3-dev, so it's not
really 100% merged)

You should definitely keep, forever until further notice:
gjc/ns-3-pyviz <http://code.nsnam.org/gjc/ns-3-pyviz/>   (lack of time to
work on this, but I think this is a cool project)


Thanks,
