I just asked address@hidden to setup a git.sv DNS entry.

Current this would be:
git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils.git

I also figured we could strip the 'sources/' part of the paths. I used
a 'sources/' prefix in order to use a 'web/' prefix similar to what we
do in CVS. However, it would probably easier to put web repositories
in a sub-repository like /srv/git/project/web.git.

Woah - 1.1GB!

I guess we need to seriously consider auto-packing :)

Apparently the git HEAD doesn't show up properly - gitweb shows the
basic README example instead.

You probably need to push the appropriate HEAD as refs/heads/master
