Yay!  I like configurable!

I noticed that in my remote repository folders that the index directory is
".index" which differs from the default of .indexer for local repos.  Are
the index folders in the "remotes" directory provided as part of the
"merged" index?

I am using a repository group as well and thus assume the "merged index" is
supported, but when I go to the repo group url such as
http://archiva/repository/myrepogroup/.indexer, it seems to just hang.

(I'm getting a brain cramp trying to resolve all of the index stuff in my
head.)

Thanks for your efforts and help and I anxiously await 1.4-M4 :-).
