 Great. You're in. The problem is a bit more complex than it seems and
it will require that you get a shell account on subversions.gnu.org
(please ask one to address@hidden, refering to this mail exchange).
There currently are three main cvsroot (one is /cvs, the old CVS
repository, two is /webcvs the www.gnu.org repository, three is
/cvsroot the sources repository).

 Is viewcvs able to deal with 3 different cvsroot ? Another area
related to this is that log_accum + prep_commit must be configured to
generate the proper URLs for viewcvs instead of cvsweb. And, of
course, Savannah must point to viewcvs instead cvsweb, but this is
easy ;-) The current system is mostly broken (the URLs sent by
mail for commit updates are wrong).

 Can you handle this ?
