493745 - use clone of mozilla-central repo to create places repo

Can you please clone mozilla-central repo to create a new "places" repo? It should be made visible at: http://hg.mozilla.org/places

This is to start up another project branch, and is similar to what we did when setting up tracemonkey.

we'd also like this to be able to accept pushes by those who don't have a mozilla-central account, but who have an hg account.

Instead of creating this as a toplevel repo, can we create this in the "projects" directory?

Done, you should see a hg.m.o with a projects footer.

If you go to hg.m.o/projects, you will see a places repo which is a clone of mozilla-central.

err... I do see the "projects" entry in footer. However, when I click on it, I get one of:

- correct list of two repos in projects directory
- malformed html page
- error message "The specified repository "projects" is unknown" 

I've tried this several times now this morning, even restarting browser, and keep hitting this. For me, I get errors 2/3rd of the time. 

Note: When I look in other directories or repos on hg.m.o, they always work fine all the time. This problem is only when access the new projects directory. For the times where I can access the projects directory, I then have problems accessing the two repos in there. Others in group report same problem.

Any ideas?

One of the configs was missing a '|'. Fixed.
