Hm.. You don't think that an entire web frontend on top of your
Subversion setup is a different beast than fixing the command line
utility so that it doesn't error out whenever you point it at a
Subversion server or a URL you only vaguely remember or don't entirely
know about?
I mean, ViewCVS *is* a very nice product, and it does offer a whole
range of neat web-browser accessible bells and whistles.
But I can't quite see how the existence of ViewCVS is a good argument
against improving the Subversion client past the point where it barfs
when you toss an imprecise URL at it?
If you're merely worried about the coding and testing effort involved,
I'd be happy to throw energy into it. I'd like to get consensus first
on what would be a good solution and what I can expect to be
considered for inclusion into Subversion first, though.
