Hi,

I have had to disable all git-browser functionality on The ZAP Group
Australia's website, at least temporarily: that particular portion
of the site was being hammered by bots distributed all over the
world.  These bots did not indicate themselves as such and
completely ignored robots.txt.  I was seeing up to half a million
accesses per day!

I plan to submit an updated package for Star Traders once I finalise
the Ukrainian translation, at which time I will remove or amend the
Vcs-Browser field from debian/control.

In fact, you can see that I've already done this in my upstream Git
repository:

  git clone https://git.zap.org.au/git/trader.git -b with-debian

<rant>
  If bots really want every version of every file, I wish they would
  just do a once-off "git clone" of any repository, instead of
  scraping the output of cgit!
</rant>

Yours truly,

John Zaitseff
