Yes I've always disliked the fact that even if I have a particular branch "selected", new files dont show up unless you look in the attic. It seems functionality more based on technical requirements than business requirements (I can't think of a single reason why a user would want to see New files in a different place to current files).
However, as for making the changes to CVSWEB - my policy has been, and still is, to keep CVSWEBNT as merely a "windowized" version of CVSWEB. Adding these differences in functionality really separates it from the original product. Of course it's been quite a while since I tried to reconcile CVSWEBNT and CVSWEB, so perhaps I should.... The current version of the Unix CVSWEB is 1.112: http://stud.fh-heilbronn.de/~zeller/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ http://lemming.stud.fh-heilbronn.de/~zeller/cgi/cvsweb.cgi The current version of CVSWEBNT is 1.93(g). http://198.142.100.140/cvswebnt/cvsweb.cgi/ My current plan of attack for CVSWEBNT is: 1. patch up current version with patches kindly supplied from tmh, and others 2. merge with CVSWEB 1.112 3. Goto 1. Finally, even if such a proposed patch were to be written, the loginfo script should at least specify the branch, eg: ?sortby=date&only_with_tag=dev-branch Comments ?
