Follow-up Comment #3, sr #104643 (project administration):

I began doing this but I have other personnal issues to deal with atm. (it
doesn't apply to CVS 1.12, it's quite an old patch for v1.11; the doc patch
applies well though)

That's another patch for CVS 1.10, from Loïc Dachary, not
documented/accompagned with tests. I'll attach here so there's a way to get
it (previous location is broken).

No, though we can create a task item here.

Vincent Caron also sent me a patch they use at Gna! for automatically
supporting subdirectories of the specified allow-root - however it's not
documented/accompagned with tests, not strictly backward compatible, and I
don't think it's good to allow a CVSROOT at any sublevel of the specified
allow-root's.

That's probably because I pinged him about it 2 days ago :) Can you tell me
more about it?

Again no problem with adding a task here.

Here:
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/administration/administration/infra/commit_prep-log_accum/

We use MySQL.

The structure is at:
http://cvs.gna.org/cvsweb/savane/db/mysql/?cvsroot=savane

patch/support/task/bugs are built on the same schema.

That would be good. You might want to discuss the issue at address@hidden
