Hello Bob and Glenn,

I'll add one more thing:

The 'live' file /opt/savannah/bin/sv_membersh was not copied from any
other server. It is the result of installing the checked-in
source of the 'savane' repository by running:

    cd /opt/savannah/savane
    ./configure --prefix=/opt/savannah/
    make
    make install

which is why:

I assume it happens because over long period of time,
various savannah admins changed various files
(e.g. scripts on 'vcs'), but never checked them into the 'savane'
repository.
Quite understandable, as it is a big mess, and many scripts
aren't checked-in at all (e.g. all those in "vcs:/usr/src/infra").

I'll have some time tomorrow, so I'll commit your updates
to the repository as needed - otherwise we'll lose them
again the next time savane in updated/installed.

I took the liberty of adding you (Glenn) to our dedicated test-project
  https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/test-project/

It has repositories of all types including bzr:
  http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/test-project/trunk/view/head:/README

You should be able to commit changes with:
  bzr branch bzr+ssh://address@hidden/test-project/branch

If you could help us test it, it would be very much appreciated.
If not - I'll try to test it a bit later.

Many thanks!!
