It's true that most servers don't have a different web root for the HTTP
content vs. the HTTPS content. Yeah, https should probably go under "http"
by default, I guess with an option to separate them. Otherwise on servers
that allow access to the whole site via either http or https (fairly common
when the https server doesn't have a different name, like secure.site.com),
you'd mirror the whole site twice.

Yeah, there are several patches that have been submitted recently that look
fine but that none of the three folks with write-access to the repository
have had time to commit. Hopefully one of the three of us will get to them
soon.
