As far as I know the answer is no. There is only the ability to upload html pages. There is no ability to insert configuration using a local .htacess file. Note that Savannah is simply the version control host for the files. All of the web page action is on the FSF web servers which checkout the pages. There is a separate WWW team. At least two of that team read this mailing list though and will hopefully comment if I say anything incorrect. :-) [[Aside: Generally use of .htaccess files is a really bad idea because it really kills performance due to the need for Apache to dynamically stat(2) up and down the directory tree for every page access looking for local .htaccess files and then dynamically merge in the configuration. Also IMNHO the use of .htaccess locks the site into using Apache and there are many reasons a site may want to use less memory intensive and faster alternative servers.]] Also there is the problem that Github runs non-free software. The GNU Project and the FSF cannot be endorsing non-free software. Therefore I think any http redirect from FSF resources to a non-free site is just not possible. Bob
