I get an "Error: This item is private" from that page, so I'm not sure what
that is.
Just yesterday, I had 'stg push' empty out my patches when I ran it from a
subdirectory. Fortunately, in this case, the old versions were in the log,
but I can imagine someone less familiar with what git and stgit are doing
not knowing how to recover this.
