I'm not sure when this stopped working; we would have set up tests for it if we knew it was being used. One way to get a list of the repositories is to hit the XML representation of the project with all its repositories after a project has been been selected. If, for example, the user selects the "gitorious" project, a list of repositories within that project can be fetched from the URL http://gitorious.org/gitorious.xml This requires an additional HTTP request + XML parser round, but it does mean that the project XML payload will be smaller. If this is cumbersome, please add a ticket to our bug tracker: http://issues.gitorious.org/ and we'll handle it from there. The fact that others rely on this feature means we should keep it working, so I really want your opinion on this.
