Synopsis: Bug fix devel/cvsweb

Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-cvsweb->knu
Responsible-Changed-By: scop
Responsible-Changed-When: Mon Aug 9 15:59:55 GMT 2004
Responsible-Changed-Why: 
(Over to knu who maintains the cvsweb* ports.)

This is a known issue.  The current version of cvsweb (3.0.1,
available as devel/cvsweb3, I'd recommend switching to it)
documents this a bit better:

# Options to pass to cvs(1).
# For cvs versions 1.11 to 1.11.6 (broken in < 1.11, removed in 1.11.7), you
# can use the '-l' option to prevent cvs from writing to the history file.
# For other cvs versions, either suppress history logging by using the
# LogHistory parameter in CVSROOT/config or make sure that the CVSweb user
# can read and write to CVSROOT/history.

knu, perhaps it would make sense to apply the patch from this PR
to the current devel/cvsweb port.  However, not using -l may require
tweaking of things according to the above.  Your call...
