[Savannah-cvs] [RenamingProjectGroup] (edit) syntax

[Beuc]

??changed:
-Renaming a Project Group:
-
- First, rename the group in the database:
-
-  * https://savannah.nongnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=id
-
-  * or use mysql directly::
-
-   update groups set unix_group_name="newname" where group_id="id" and 
unix_group_name="oldname";
-
- Change the system group name, so that Savane doesn't create a new group:
-
-  * Change /subsystems/accounts/etc/group
-
- Use the semi-automated script, at '~/deleted-projects/rename_projet.sh' 
(don't use as-is, it needs serious updating)
-
- Mailing-lists:
-
-  * http://list.org/faq.html ("Q. How do I rename a list?") - apparently it's 
pretty messy to cleany rename a list. Beware that by renaming a list, you 
change the archives URLs, and hence break lots of links. Stable archive links 
is something people often care about.
