NP, though please contact the Savannah Hackers and not me alone :)


These are recent additions, I shamefully didn't document them:

a. /etc/cron.d/sv_vcs contains is the one that calls
   infra/git/refresh-project-list.sh:

  /usr/src/infra/git/refresh-project-list.sh && /usr/src/infra/git/sv_cgit.pl

b. It also calls sv_cgit.pl which currently get description partly
   from the database (for repo groups), partly from project-list (for
   repo owners), partly from *.git/description (for repo description).

   Hopefully at a point we'll have a way to manage multiple
   repositories per project in Savane, in which case all those files
   (project-list, cgitrepos, description) will be generated from the
   database.
