Maybe off topic, but ... should we also make the repo available via the 
http:// protocol?

Advantages:

1) Some places block things other than http:// on TCP port 80.

Disadvantages

1) Might create higher server load.
2) ??


Admittedly the pserver protocol probably has the issues with port 
blocking as git does, so people who can currently access CVS would 
likely not suffer a loss in functionality.
