[Building Sakai] siteGroups not returned in Entity Broker Site:group

[Aaron Zeckoski]

I'm afraid not. That is not part of the path in the URL, it is part of
the params.

http://localhost:8080/direct/site/84547c93-069f-421f-a735-8f348fd7c07b?includeGroups=true

Normally, when someone says params in a URL they would mean these ?a=1&b=2
When they say path they mean /a/b/c/d/e
