Close.  It would be great if the MySQL commits database were integrated
enough (even optionally) to serve as a cache of data so that ViewVC didn't
have to poll the VC system on every request.  But as it stands today, the
commits database is merely a way to query commits.

You can play with this feature by visiting the Subversion project's ViewVC
instance (at http://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn/) and clicking the "Commit
Query" tab (of sorts).
