How is "allowed_views" configured?  If you have the default value, then it
lacks the "co" (checkout) token which allows folks to see the checkout (or
download) views of files.

My guess is that ViewVC is determining (through mime-type lookup) that your
.js files are of some type that isn't obvious-by-inspection human-readable
("application/javascript", rather than "text/something"), and that ViewVC
has decided that such files prefer the checkout view (also called the
download view) instead of the markup (syntax-highlighted) view.  Of course,
if you've told ViewVC that the checkout view isn't allowed (which is the
default case), you'll get no link.

Solutions include:

  - Adding "co" to the allowed_views.

  - Overriding the mime-type of .js files in the mimetypes.conf
    file provided with ViewVC.

  - Waiting until ViewVC adds support for a human_readable_mime_types
    configuration option.
