HomeAway's iCAL URLs don't work in Google Calendar

Dear HomeAway customer support:

When I visit

https://www.homeaway.com/owners/index.cfm?fuseaction=availability&pro_id=3020695

and click the [Google Calendar] link at the bottom of the screen, I am offered this link to cut-n-paste:

https://connect.homeaway.com/icalendar/hacalendar.htm?cid=89d5c6d06a2649c1978a09d450235777

When I use Google Calendar, click the [Add] link, and paste in the above URL, I receive the error:

Could not fetch the url because robots.txt prevents us from crawling the url.

This is due to the following text in http://connect.homeaway.com/robots.txt :

User-agent: *
#Disallow: /search/refined/

User-agent: wegobot
Disallow: /

Google is interpreting this as:

User-agent: *
User-agent: wegobot
Disallow: /

Which Google thinks means DON'T INDEX YOUR SITE AT ALL!!!!!

The fix is to either remove

User-agent: *
#Disallow: /search/refined/

or move it to the end of the file, where it will not be mis-interpreted.

How about giving me an extra year for taking the time to diagnose, and inform you of this SERIOUS issue with Google, the most used search portal on the internet!!!

SubversionException: ("Can't open file 'c:\svn\repos\db\current': Access is denied. ", 720005)

I recently encountered the following error, when I tried to browse my local svn repository using ViewVC:
SubversionException: ("Can't open file 'c:\\svn\\repos\\db\\current': Access is denied. ", 720005) 
I'm not sure yet, but I think the culprit was committing changes using Cygwin's svn command and the file: protocol. For example:
c:\src> svn co file:///c:/svn/repo/mana
c:\src> cd mana
c:\src\mana> svn ci -m 'from heaven'
To fix it, I ran the following commands:
cacls c:\svn /T /E /G Administrators:F
cacls c:\svn /T /E /G SYSTEM:F
cacls c:\svn /T /E /G Users:R
For some reason
cacls c:\svn /T /E /G %USERNAME%:F
gave the error:
The data is invalid.
To work around this issue, I executed:
cd /D c:\svn
for /R %i in (*.*) do cacls %i /T /E /G %USERNAME%:F
Using the svn: or http: protocols probably do not suffer from this issue.
