ViewVC's use of the database backend is at this point still very tangential.
ViewVC only consults the database when answering direct queries aimed at the
database via the query view.  I'd like to see that change, with the database
providing acting as a more powerful and flexible cache of information that
is a bummer to calculate on-the-fly, but not so harsh to calculate once at
post-commit time (like FishEye does).
