I added this assertion relatively recently as a way to notice incorrect
ViewVC configurations.

Are you able to share with us the value of your 'cvs_roots' and
'root_parents' viewvc.conf configuration variables?  I'm primarily
interested in whether the paths configured in those options are specified as
absolute paths or not, and if not, why not.  (Perhaps you have a valid
configuration scenario I didn't consider when I added the assertion to
ViewVC's logic.)
