In order to update files on commit for the web repository, when a file
is committed on savannah, a HTTP POST is sent to
http://www.gnu.org/savannah/sync. The post transaction must have a
Content-Type of "application/x-savannah-sync". The body content
contains one filename per line. Lines are terminated by LF.
Filenames are relative to httpd's root directory and such filenames
should not start with a "/", or contain references to "..". Filenames
are limited to printable ASCII characters.
For example, if the files home.html and software/year2000.html need to
be updated, then a POST might look like:
POST /savannah/update HTTP/1.1
Content-Length: 33
Content-Type: application/x-savannah-sync
home.html
software/year2000.html
If the POST is accepted, then a 200 response is returned.
