[cvsnt] Re: CVSMailer link to ViewCVS leading slash on cvsroot?

[Mike Wake]

Hi all,

Hmmm, I figured out that I needed to set the "weblink root" to map the
Path To Repository
C:/webtools/CVSREPOS/MuckAround

To the Name used by ViewCVS
MuckAround

Without this ViewCVS was being sent "/MuckAround" which it didn't like.

Cheers and Thanks
Mikew
