If I understand you correctly (and I assume that it isn't really
ignored, but it just doesn't do what you think it should), this is not a
bug.

hidecvsroot is a user setting; it can be changed in the URL to 0/1, IIRC
there's no user interface for doing that, and the default value for it
can be configured in cvsweb.conf.

If you want to really restrict access to CVSROOT/ instead of just not
generating links to it in dir views by default, see @ForbiddenFiles in
cvsweb.conf.

That, on the other hand, is a bug still present in 3.0.4; changing (or
not) values in the options form should not affect whether CVSROOT is
shown or not.  I'll look into it.  Thanks.
