You +will likely notice many problems. + +The biggest one is that ViewCVS doesn't know how to traverse backwards across +copy or rename operations. For instance, if you're trying to view the following +URL: + http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/tags/4.2.1-7/debian/changelog?rev=99&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup + +You'll get an error like this: + + /cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/tags/4.2.1-7/debian/changelog: unknown location + +(Plus further error messages.) + +This is because revision 99 of the "changelog" file was committed before the +Subversion copy operation that placed the debian directory into the tags/4.2.1-7 +location. Eventually, it is expected that ViewCVS will support history +traversal across copy and rename operations, so please be patient, and do not +report errors of this exact sort to me, the ViewCVS Debian package maintainer, +or to the ViewCVS upstream author(s). All of us are well aware of the issue. + +You may also occasionally experience failures due to permission problems. This +is due to the perverity of the Berkeley DB software, and is corrected by the +repository administrator as soon as possible. + +X Strike Force team members: + *** IMPORTANT * IMPORTANT * IMPORTANT * IMPORTANT * IMPORTANT * IMPORTANT *** DO NOT EVER CHECK OUT OR EXPORT THE FOLLOWING PATHS WITHOUT PRIOR
