Hi!

Does this have any chance of working with SWH?  Does their HTTP API
support looking up svn revision for a given origin URL?

Also:

  scheme@(guile-user)> (lookup-origin "https://scm.gforge.inria.fr/anonscm/svn/mpfi/trunk/mpfi")
  $6 = #f

So the effect today would be the opposite of what we’re attempting: when
GForge goes down, we’d lose it completely.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.
