or POST
bower-server:5678/packages
{ "name": "package-name", "url": "git://repoPath" }
or POST
bower-server:5678/packages/<package name>
{ "url": "git://repoPath" }
##Register packages POST

[ { "name": "package-name", "url": "git://repoPath" } ]
##Remove package DELETE

##Log4js configuration
There are two appenders set in the example configuration. You need to remove one of the two if you want to use it. fileDate appender will write the log to a file which will be rotated daily. Console will write the logging to the console in the log4js format. You need to set the replaceConsole to true if you want to write the logging to the log4j appenders. See github.com/nomiddlename/log4js-node for more information
