OK, so here is the 'some reason' I mentioned :). Apologies, it's now 
back to the previous state, this specific folder is only available to 
members of the 'webgnueval' unix group. It also means updating will fail 
again until the proper solution is applied.

I guess www.gnu.org is doing an anonymous checkout, one solution in this 
case would be to create an 'administrative' user who belongs to the 
webgnueval group on sv.gnu.org and use this account from the gnu.org 
update script.

Paul: I believe the 'webcvs' account on sv.gnu.org was meant to do that 
in the old sync scheme, it even still has the public key of an 
administrative account of gnudist in its authorized_keys 
(address@hidden). It does belong to 'webgnueval'.

I'm not sure this would help, the 'non world readable' looks like an 
exception on gnu.org and we should take the least effort path. But I'm 
quite new on this very topic, other hackers might have a better insight.
