It looks like we don't actually log any of the other potential info  
right now. If any of this is useful please let us know and we can add  
extra info to the PEAR error object.

You'll want to look around line 760 of VC/cvs.php in the  
getBrowseInfo() function. After the exec() call, the $return_array and  
$retval variables will have all the information we have on why the  
function call failed. It's possible that if you have HTTP server logs  
those will help also.

You can add a var_dump to that file, or add var_export($return_array,  
$retval) to the PEAR_Error string.
