We installed a new git repository browser at:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/

It's written in C, uses a static library rather than forking git, has a cache system, and hence is pretty fast!

Let us know how it works for you.

Savannah now has 12 mirrors covering 8 countries and 4 continents!

To take advantage of these, we setup a GeoIP-based nearest-mirror redirection system. The old URL (without redirection) is still available at download.savannah.gnu.org/releases-noredirect/ . ...

We've switched to CAcert.org https certificates instead of the previously self-signed certificated. CAcert.org offers an alternative way to deliver https certificates based on a web of trust - and their software is GPL'd. More information at http://savannah.gnu.org/tls/

Thanks to the work of Aleix Conchillo Flaqué, Mercurial is now available at Savannah!

You can enable it in your project through the top menu:
Main -> Select Features -> Mercurial

Repositories will be created within 1/2 hour and visible at
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/

You can also read an introduction at:

We upgraded:
- Git to v1.5.5.1 (from v1.5.4.2)
- rsync to v3 (from v2; used for file uploads and VCS raw access)

Thanks to http://www.backports.org/ for providing packages, easing the Savannah maintenance :)
