Command line too long!

[Chris Brown]

Hi,

For a while now cvsweb has incorrectly displayed a particuar module in my  
CVS repository - quite a few of the files are missing from the log lists  
but can be accessed if the url to the file is typed directly into my  
browser, e.g., http://www/cgi-bin/cvsweb/cvsweb.cgi/opt/parmip.c. A Google  
search found other people with this symptom but I couldn't find any fix.

I have now realised that my module contains so many files (~570) that the  
command line to run rlog is longer than it (or the shell maybe) can  
handle. To get around this I wrote a patch to version 3.0.4 of cvsweb.cgi  
so it calls rlog incrementally with a configurable number of files at a  
time (at the moment set to 150). I hope this is useful to someone.
