Description Adam Weinberger freebsd_committer

Using the log view is a great way to see recent commits to a branch. I like
to see the latest activity just on -STABLE, for instance.

ViewVC on svnweb is currently set to display the entire log. (On the svnweb
main page, just click the Revision number of any branch.) This takes a very
long time (a number of minutes), the returned page is gigantic, and probably
takes an inordinate amount of CPU time and I/O to produce.

Fix: 

What about setting log_pagesize in viewvc.conf to something reasonable? 50
maybe?

I still think the one-line change suggested in this PR is a good idea. Can
someone in www@ please share a thought on this?

The change suggests setting log_pagesize in viewvc.conf to a reasonable
value, so that one can browse history on a branch without bringing their
browser (and presumably the svnweb server) to its knees.

This sounds like a very good idea.  I wasn't aware of that option. 

I have enabled it now with 100 entries per page as I personally 
like to see a good bit when looking at history.  This can perhaps 
be tweaked later.
