It's a small bug, but for simplicity I decided to match on a trailing
slash for directories.  There is a way to test for a directory in the
filesystem with mod_rewrite but it's more complicated.

Yes.

I noticed a few things on dl.sv.gnu.org when I was working on it:

- the apache log files aren't being rotated and are HUGE
  (e.g. /var/log/apache2/bzr/access.log is 6.2GB).  

  Do you want me to fix that?  It just looks like
  /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 doesn't take into account the
  subdirectories.
  
- /var/www/download/robots.txt is commented out so robots are
  downloading everything -- using quite a lot of resources.  Is there
  a reason to leave the site open?
