Really?  I prefer the current webpage's display, since you can see
all the sub-sections of each section.  (or all the sections of
each "chapter")

I mean, if somebody is reading Introduction->Features, I think
it'd be nice to see Introduction->Examples and Introduction->Crash
course, without having to hover the mouse around.

That was actually the default for the init file -- it took me
about an hour to figure out how to hack-comment-out lines so it
wouldn't do this!  :)

I could change it back for an experiment, though.  If I see it in
action, I might like it better... or I may be outvoted :)
In any case, it would be easy to compare between the
current-webpage version and the drop-down version.


... ok, experiment pushed to web-gop.  Go ahead and do your magic
to web-gop/texinfo/css/ anytime.  :)

... nope, can't do.  Whenever I try to commit it, I get:
address@hidden:~/svn/web-gop$ git commit texinfo/web-texi2html.init 
error: invalid object d92e8d14ac7c92171da2feb403f85eee6cade51a
error: Error building trees


Mao.  I'll delete the whole dir and download everything from the
main repo again, then add the file.  In the meantime, I've
attached the diff; you can apply it to your local copy and go from
there.
