Well, I'd say that what was ugly was to hardcode that feature in the back-end, with some areweonsubversions() calls. I think I (or you) cleaned-up that part at the time of the Savannah local post-crack changes merge. The fact to have some people member of the 297 GNU webgroups doesn't really annoy me. > I cannot think of any good solution.

In the worst case, I'll re-add the hardcoded hack, maintaining a patch. -- Sylvain
