This is now fixed -- users' public_git directories are scanned by a cron
job every five minutes and an index is created. We only look for _bare_
repositories _directly_ under your ~/public_git directory -- i.e. the
script looks for ~/public_git/*/HEAD files.

If you have a deeper directory structure, or if your repository isn't a
bare repository, then it won't find your trees. It also won't find them
if your home directory isn't world-executable.

The switch to git seems to be working out OK so far. It should be fairly
simple for anyone to create git trees and ask me to pull from them --
I'd prefer that rather than patches in mail, if possible. Please make
sure your tree is based on the current contents of the mtd-2.6.git tree
though, to reduce the number of merges we have.
