Hi Patrick, I can help you with your git on Savannah issue. Sorry it took so long to see your note and respond to it.

Since it has been a few weeks I should ask first what the status is of this problem? Have you resolved it or does it still need some attention? I can rename the current master branch to oldmaster. (I hate to delete anything as a first step. Renaming preserves the data. Even though I think you will tell me that it isn't good. Better safe than sorry. Better to make a new connection before breaking the old connection.) That would open you a path to upload a new master branch. After a new master is uploaded then all can proceed and be tested that way. (After all is proven good then later the old master can be removed as cleanup if desired.) Bob
