As requested (and you learn something new every day!)

Can you attach the patch as a unified diff (upload it as an attachment to the ticket instead of pasting it)?

Do you have other changes/ideas that affect the app because of this outlook? Not as yet. Take-up has been slow and local integration problems (due to network segregation and configuration issues with autoversioning in subversion) has lessened interest. I hope to be in a position to ramp this back up in a few weeks once a few key people are available.

Interesting, I don't know of anyone using Chora as a document store. Do you have other changes/ideas that affect the app because of this outlook?

This change is predominantly for use as a documentation store, where the document is the most important aspect of the system, and it's only the document store administrators who need to know about the version number, the last person who committed it and the log. The file browser would be acceptable, if we didn't need to occasionally see the history.

You already get the latest version if you click on the version number, and I'm not sure of how much use Chora is for people who don't know about version control systems? If you want a file browser, use Gollem.
