arch.cgi is fixed to return files starting with . except . alone, .. and
anything starting with .ht (to hide .htaccess, .htpasswd etc...) in
address@hidden/tlacontrib--bulb--1.3.0--patch-2

Archive-Name: address@hidden
Archive-Location: http://www.ucw.cz/~bulb/{archives}/pub-1
Archive-Location: http://mirrors.sourcecontrol.net/address@hidden
Target-Revision: tlacontrib--bulb--1.3.0--patch-2

(it will take the supermirror some time to pick it up...)

Now I see the patch-1 (which introduced the arch.cgi script) is not part
of address@hidden/tlacontrib--devo--1.3 either. Anyway,
James, please consider merging it.

Note to Matthew: Yes, it is a hack, but unfortunately WebDAV does not
work for everybody. I have seen some paranoid web proxies (we have one
at work) that only allow GET, POST and HEAD requests and CONNECT to port 443.
(that acutally means that WebDAV overs https should work for everybody,
but over http it does not). Unfortunately there were some problems
building tla/baz with https support of which I am not sure are gone.
