Excellent.

Yes, I'm afraid you've run into a known limitation with standalone.py.
(Though obviously not known-enough, or I might have remembered this *before*
giving you all that previous advice.)

Well, if you must use standalone.py (instead of, say, Apache), then is it
feasible for you to run two different standalone.py instances, one which
uses a viewvc.conf that allows the "co" view (for all repositories), and one
with a viewvc.conf that doesn't?

Alternatively, you could avoid per-root overrides in your viewvc.conf
altogether, and patch your lib/viewvc.py code to do the root-specific stuff
you want done:
