malicious code, too, which might not be what the original author
intended.
If you wish to disable ViewVC's "checkout" view which implements this
feature, you can do so by editing lib/viewvc.py, and modifying the
function view_checkout() like so, adding the lines indicated:
def view_checkout(request):
>> raise debug.ViewVCException('Checkout view is disabled',
>> '403 Forbidden')
path, rev = _orig_path(request)
fp, revision = request.repos.openfile(path, rev)
For this reason, ViewVC's "checkout" view is disabled by default. If
you wish to enable it, simply add "co" to the list of views enabled in
the allowed_views configuration option.
