Say no more.  Yeah, ViewVC 1.0.x has problems serving up Subversion
repositories from standalone.py where no viewvc.conf is used.  As you can
see from the output of 'standalone.py --help', it treats all repositories
passed via the -r option as CVS ones:

[...]
   -r <path>, --repository=<path>:
       Specify a path for a CVS repository.  Repository definitions are
[...]

You really need to "install" ViewVC somewhere on your system (using the
'viewvc-install' script) and then modify the viewvc.conf that gets installed
as part of that process, where you can tell ViewVC that your repository is a
Subversion one and not a CVS one.

Alternatively, if you can get approval to install the much, much (like, four
years) newer ViewVC 1.0.13 -- or even ViewVC 1.1.17 -- you'll find that
'standalone.py -r' works as expected.
