The .ini format which ViewVC uses for its configury doesn't allow for
multiple lines with a single "key" (the part to the left of the equal sign).

ViewVC internally collapses all the configured roots -- those explicitly
named in cvs_roots and svn_roots, and those implicitly defined in the
root_parents bit -- into a single list of roots.  Is it possible for you to
use a single authz file that describes the permissions for all your
repositories?  Alternatively, you could run multiple instances of ViewVC
which expose different, non-overlapping collections of repositories (perhaps
organized by parent-path) and which refer only to the authz file that
applies to the appropriate collection.
