Agreed.  But the first step of getting something fixed is to report it
to the responsible admins, or here on the list.  I never use HTTP
myself to access the repository, as git protocol is so much more
efficient.  So unless somebody shouts about it, I will never notice
any such problems.

I've tweaked things a bit - can you please give it another try?  If
you still see problems (either now or later) please make sure to
report them to me, and I will make sure someone looks into it.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
