I'm into this. Is there documentation for Maven 2 on building that
"redirect". That is,
for some projects, I get a warning that tells me that the "artifact
has been renamed"
or something to that effect.

Don't see a problem with this.

I've seen the notes below, so SVN doesn't seem like a good way to go.

Is there something we could do with WebDAV to make it easier to get
files up into the repository?

How about ant Ant library & Maven extension that does the client-side
prep and the proper upload?

http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.0.3-SNAPSHOT/maven-model/maven.html#class_relocation

<relocation> inside <distributionManagement>.

So far, maven-repository is clean. The automated sync will only be
turned on once cleanliness can be monitored automatically (which is
pretty much in place, just need to tie it all together... and
apparently get the app to compile :)

This sounds like a really good alternative. We will likely have webdav
support directly from Maven this month.
