well, for my point, i've been adding/debugging some stuffs in chora, and
the code was cryptic at first sight, but really readable thereafter.

i've already said something like that, i'll let you guess what happens
if you ask for a file which look like :
modules   1.3626   lioux   13 hours    explosions -->
ports/misc/explosions
and :
$ /usr/bin/rlog /cvs/dup/freebsd/CVSROOT/modules,v |wc
  15711   64390  597843  
this file is from freebsd:/CVSROOT/

(answer, have to kill apache...)

from co.php, $fullname, it's at the beginning
