cvsweb feature request

Hi there,
I'm a big fan of the cvsweb tool, but there's something I think would make
it much more useful. I requested this some months ago, and was told at the
time that it a) was a good idea, b) should be easy and c) would be coming
soon.
It's been months, and a few releases, and it seems like it was lost in the
shuffle, so please let me enter another plea for it:
It'd be really great if CVSweb's "Age" column worked on directories, and
told you when the last time a directory was modified. For instance, on
the CVSweb page itself, instead of the current:
File Rev. Age Author Last log entry
css/
enscript/
icons/
ChangeLog 1.191 8 weeks scop Spelling fixes.
INSTALL 1.36 6 months scop Release 3.0.5.
NEWS 1.46 3 months scop Improved "Diff to"
We'd see the most recent time anything in a directory was changed, and so
would get this:
File Rev. Age Author Last log entry
css/ 12 months scop cvsweb.css:Combine CSS properties......
enscript/ 18 months scop lang_cvsweb_diff.st: Use a separate....
icons/ 2 years scop binary.gif: Show binary files with a...
ChangeLog 1.191 8 weeks scop Spelling fixes.
INSTALL 1.36 6 months scop Release 3.0.5.
NEWS 1.46 3 months scop Improved "Diff to"
That is, display the info for the most recently-changed file in a
directory.
That would be a tremendous help for tracking changes in a large project,
if you just want to look at a directory and see what has changed.
Currently, you have to descend into each subdirectory, which is a big
pain.
Pretty please?
Thanks,
Jon
