Trac should still be usable even if there's an issue with resync

Can't open ​http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/x11 …

Oops… Trac detected an internal error:

If you think this really should work and you can reproduce it, you should consider reporting this problem to the Trac team.

Go to ​http://trac.edgewall.org/ and create a new ticket where you describe the problem, how to reproduce it. Don't forget to include the Python traceback found below.

Sorry, the error message is a bit misleading, you shouldn't have created a ticket here but you should have informed the overlays.gentoo.org/proj/x11 people that there was a problem reaching the svn repository (which was probably moved to another location).

On the other hand, it's a bit sad that the whole Trac site is taken down when there's a problem like that. I think we should be more robust in this case (i.e. the other subsystems, e.g. wiki and ticket should still be usable).

This was implemented in r5230.
