We have a problem with viewcvs. He does not ignore directories he
cannot opened ; and so he kill himself.
I would be glad if someone have a solution for this (not adding each
non accessible directories one by one, at hand, in his ignore
list). For instance, an hack would do the job: before trying to open a
directory, viewcvs should test it's mode and try to open it only if
he have access. It's python code, I havent read a line of python
since more than an year and only know the basis of python, so it would
take me too much time to do this myself.
I would be glad if someone familiar with python look into viewcvs code
and propose us a patch (and to viewcvs authors, indeed!).
