[Savannah-hackers] Bug in sf_cvs account creation code?

[Mark H. Weaver]

Something very strange is going on.  njonkers recently created an
account on savannah.  Although there is no corresponding line in
/etc/passwd, there is a directory /home/njonkers on subversions which
is owned by ra3vat.

Any idea what went wrong here?
