ViewVC internally maps each repository (identified by its filesystem path)
to a repository (or "root") name.  It's the root name which is used to
identify repositories when parsing request URLs.  When you use a
"root_parents"-based configuration, the root names are quite literally the
basenames of the repository paths.

# I have two root-parents, once for each version control system:
$ grep root_parents viewvc.conf
root_parents = /usr/local/svn:svn, /usr/local/cvs:cvs

# List the contents of my Subversion root-parent:
$ ls -1 /usr/local/svn
eclipse_projects/
filetypes/
subversion/

# List the contents of my CVS root-parent:
$ ls -1 /usr/local/cvs
main/
querytest/
$

My valid root names are "eclipse_projects", "filetypes", "main",
"querytest", and "subversion".

In your situation, is "Project" such a path basename?
