[chora] large numbers of repos

[Greg_Swift]

hi.

I was trying to find a way to view a large number of repos easily, but
(atleast with subversion) it appears that I have to create a different
sourceroot for each repo. As it is we currently have over 50 repos, so
the text list created for the "Other Repositories" was rather long. I
would prefer to have it look like cvs.horde.org, but couldn't figure out
how to do that. Suggestions would be handy.

In the meantime I made a makeshift patch to chora/lib/Chora.php that makes
dealing with a large number of different repo a bit easier. I realize this
isn't the ideal horde way of doing it (If i had the time I would try and
make it behave more like IMP's folder selection in the top right of the
page) but it is functional and useful in this form.

cvs.horde.org has only one repository.

The patch is reverse. Beside that, I think it's a good idea to turn
the source roots list into a drop down list for a large number of
repos. This could happen at a certain threshold, like more than 3 or 4
repos. If you are willing to provide such a patch - against the CVS
HEAD version of Chora - please put it on bugs.horde.org.

My apologies.. I don't use patch very often (okay.. pretty much never).
I'll look into that, but not sure what my turn around will be. I've got a
few projects w/ priority right now. Thanks for the response.
