Yeah, I don't really have any other users at present, but that may change
depending on how the project goes. I really need a better uprate on my
server as its only a 1/4 Megabit up :(

I tried a three months ago to get git+ssh pushes to work with another guy
and failed then tried github but had problems with that as I could not get
syncing with the svn repository to work preoperly for some reason I cannot
remember. Anyway great I have a working repository now and can get down to
some real work.

Cheers, Aaron
