No offense taken Wim, no worries.

It's not a rule, it's just the way it works. The publishing process only looks 
at repo hosted at git.eclipse.org/c/www.eclipse.org 
<http://git.eclipse.org/c/www.eclipse.org> for several reasons, IIRC:
* Use direct file system access to poll for changes 
(/gitroot/www.eclipse.org/xxxx.git <http://www.eclipse.org/xxxx.git>)
* Use direct mapping between the name of the repo and the url it is published 
to (repo /gitroot/www.eclipse.org/xxxx.git <http://www.eclipse.org/xxxx.git> => 
publish to https://www.eclipse.org/xxxx <https://www.eclipse.org/xxxx>).

Hence the workaround.
