Re: [viewvc-users] viewvc svn revealing fullpaths

Adam,

I've never seen anything like what you describe.  ViewVC's default (only!)
behavior is to expose URLs in one of these two forms:

   http://<script_location>/<repos_name>/path/in/repos
   http://<script_location>/path/in/repos?root=<repos_name>

I'll review your configuration stuffs inline below.

Is there any chance that the versioned directory structure inside the
repository actually reflects this tree?  If you run 'svn ls
file:///usr/home/svn/repository' on your machine, do you get a listing that
contains 'Module_1', 'Module_2', etc., or you do you see instead 'usr'?

So, /usr/home/svn/repository is a *repository*, not a directory containing
one or more repositories.  We'll come back to this.

May I suggest pointing your alias at the ViewVC CGI script itself?  Just
makes for cleaner URLs.

    ScriptAlias /viewvc-cgi "/usr/local/viewvc/bin/cgi/viewvc.cgi"

Since /usr/home/svn/repository is a repository, not a repository parent, you
don't want to use 'root_parents' here.  You want to instead use the
'svn_roots' configuration directive:

   svn_roots = repository: /usr/home/svn/repository

The other settings you mention are fine.
