Re: [viewvc-users] viewing project (repos) within directory structure.

Again Thanks.. 

Yea I'm getting stuck trying to merge this patch with 1.1.12 :-) 

Plunking away at it when I get some minutes though. 

Thanks - for the heads up and forward thinking for 1.2 branch. 
Having the ability to create 'virtual locations' would be nice indeed.
