not a security issue at all. Apparently so-called AI bots are crawling the site, sucking up every possible diff between every possible version of every possible file, while ignoring the robots.txt file and spoofing lots of plausible web clients (I saw several hundred different versions of one claimed web browser from one IP address...times hundreds or thousands of IP addresses). The load that a few abusive users can put on this box is substantial. Not an easy thing to filter out. Probably VERY expensive for storage on the part of the crawlers, too. I'm probably getting the last laugh here, but ... I doubt they will ever hear it. HOWEVER, I'm not understanding your problem. You can see the commit messages, you can see the revision numbers. you can check out any revision of the file, so you can see if a particular line of code is there. You can run CVS on your own machine and see the diff between any two revisions. If you know what this "fix" you are after is, submit it for a developer to evaluate. If you don't, I'm not sure what the ability to see individual diffs on a website is doing for you. Nick.
