pointers to bzr location

Howdy-

I was just developing a simple patch, looking for grub2's upstream
trunk.

http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-2-download.en.html
led me to
http://savannah.gnu.org/bzr/?group=grub

which says:

  Anonymous read-only access
  bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub
  .
  Note: these paths are the default paths. Maybe the project is using a 
  different layout.

Indeed, this did not work:

$ bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/.bzr/branch/": location is a repository.    

Eventually, I found:

http://grub.enbug.org/ExperimentalBranch
which pointed me to
bzr checkout http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/branches/experimental 

As a drive-by contributor, I thought I would mention that the first
couple of pointers to the upstream bzr trunk were dead ends.

Thanks,
:-Dustin

The correct URL for the trunk is:

  http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/trunk/grub

You can guess this by looking at the first URL in a web browser.
Unfortunately the text on Savannah is autogenerated by the Savannah
software, and I don't think we can change it.  Maybe it would be best to
copy the text onto
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-2-download.en.html and correct it?

I already did this in a complete rewrite of the web site.  It seems to 
commit fine to cvs, but the site never got updated.  I thought the site 
autogenerated from cvs head, but It didn't work.
