The standalone.py in ViewVC 1.0.4 doesn't support using -r with Subversion
repository paths, only with CVS paths.  But if you install ViewVC, and
configure viewvc.conf appropriately, standalone.py should work fine (and not
need any -r parameters because it gets all that info from the viewvc.conf file).

Ah!  Thanks for that bug report.  Will fix this in a few minutes.

ViewVC 1.0.4.

(See above.)

Honestly, there's no calendar plan right now.  I'm trying to wrap up this
largish feature of adding path-based authorization to 1.1, and that's
probably the last thing I'll try to tackle before release a 1.1 beta.  But
ViewVC gets only the time that its developers can give it, so...  I'd like
to have at least a 1.1 beta out by the end of July, though.
