Thanks! A couple of RFEs:
You mention webrev on the root page; can we have a link to it there,
as there in your rollout Email?
The webrevs are not very portable in their expanded browsable state:
There are too many files. I'd like to see an option to upload or
download a *tgz or *zip bundle as a unit.
It could be fairly simple, with just one bit of magic: Have a private
".bundles" subdirectory hierarchy with a background script watching
it, like ".trashes". Uploading to ".bundles" would cause the archive
file to be unpacked (relative to top level). Allow both ".bundles"
"bundles" (w/ & w/o leading dot) also, so that the archive files
themselves could be left out in public, for easy anonymous downloading.

P.S. The old http://webrev.invokedynamic.info/ site did not supply
rsync/scp/sftp, so I forced users to upload single *tgz or *zip files
manually. The virtue of this necessity was that the server uploaded
the bundles as a unit and then unpacked them locally, saving lots of
network handshakes.
