Don't recall... probably not. So I'm telling you now.

*this feature request which keeps coming around*

Hint, hint - people don't want ViewCVS - they want an integrated,
full-fledged ViewSubversion ;-)

You have succeeded!!!

You have a job to do ;-)

My (possibly bad) suggestion is this: if Subversions' goal is to take over
CVS, why rely on ViewCVS which appears to have CVS as its main target? Why
not start on an integrated, glitch-free Subversion-only browsing tool?

The only thing that is predicable, as far as I can tell, is that it happends
when using ViewCVS. Other than, completely random.
