Subject: Shorter URLs on cvs.php.net
From: chuck@horde.org (Chuck Hagenbuch)

I've just updated cvs.php.net to use mod_rewrite to allow URLs such as:
http://cvs.php.net/pear/Mail/

Old URLs will still work just fine, but the above style is used by default, so
if you want to update any website links, you can. Note that for top-level
directories, you *must* include the trailing slash if you want the rewriting to
work properly. If you specify cvs.php or browse.php in the path, though, then
trailing slashes aren't required, and they're not required for subdirectories
either (the rule just requires that there's at least one / for an URL to be
rewritten). Better rules would be welcome. :)
