Good catch, Arwed, I glossed over that and was rather confused.

Every time we do a commit, actually, to keep the heads current.  There's a
default update hook that does this, I just haven't enabled it because I
need to research the consequences a bit more first.  Having
update-server-info and repack run regularly is part of that list I posted
last week, as is getting a git-daemon up for git:// support.  I didn't
realize people were actually using http:// for regular work or I'd have
prioritized that better.  For now I'm still going to defer it to work on
the new repo, I'll have it working there when it comes up.

This is true, though I want to keep the http support there for people that
want to use it and don't want to install git.  But I also want to primarily
run that from ibiblio.
