IMO it'd be better if we disable custom diffs altogether. Only diffs between consecutive revisions of a file make sense for an online code repository viewer. It's not hard to fetch cvs trees to /usr/ if someone wants more information. Additionally, consecutive revisions can be statically generated to get rid of CGI if it's getting abused. > If the code is what they were after they could... mirror the CVS tree.... > > Regards > Lloyd > > -- noodle
