I'm more than happy to include findrepo on the betterthengrep.com/more-tools page. If you'll make a page for it, or at least have something for newbies to read, I'll add a link. My concern is that someone who's new to all of this isn't going to understand what to do if I just link to http://www.pixelbeat.org/scripts/findrepo http://www.pixelbeat.org/scripts/findrepo
