The following will be used instead:
> ssh master.gnome.org install-module

And install-module will just determine all the files and ask you which ones you
want to have installed. I'll also allow you to delete files in the prompt
(pretty annoying with just rsync).

Going to make install-module smart enough to sort all the new files by version.
This when you're moving towards the GNOME infrastructure and have loads of
files to upload.

Nice thing about using sudo is that the user is still the same, only the group
changed. More secure IMO. Also, I can use the current effective userid to
determine which files are new.

That seems to work. Files uploaded by my testuser have the ftpadmin group
thanks to the sticky bit :)

Created an ftpbasic group for this. Going to make the DOAP handling script
automatically add/remove maintainers from this group.
