Thanks, that explains my difficulty checking if repos exist using 
commands, to avoid the load on the server of pulling up the project 
list, the long delay waiting for it to populate, then manually ^F to 
Find the package!

I guess we just have to remember with gitweb to copy the git portion and 
insert '?p=' between the occurrences.
