Ah, yes, I can see how this works. So, the fact that mod_authz_svn
can decode those special URLs is irrelevant -- ViewCVS doesn't use the
special URLs. The important thing is that all ViewCVS URLs are normal
GETs, and mod_authz_svn does the right thing for normal GETs aimed at
a Subversion repository.

Nice.
