Gábor HojtsyI am a bit reluctant to commit this patch. On the plus side, it might prevent disallowing indexing of directories, the user might create in her Drupal installation, such as /database and /updates, so that might be an improvement for Drupal 6. On the minus side, it is unlikely that these paths are used and robots.txt is often edited, so we should reserve to changing it on production branches only when required, not for "cosmetic" changes. Otherwise we just give people some headache to diff and update their robots.txt for the new version without much benefit.
