Before the repository reorganization, httpd-docs-2.0 had its
own directory. But now, it becomes httpd-2.0/docs directory
and module file maps repository name httpd-docs-2.0 to it.
As a result, all commit message from httpd-docs-2.0
repository goes to httpd-2.0-cvs, instead of
httpd-docs-2.0-cvs which does the right redirection.
My patch tried to fix it and failed. The new one below
should fix it.

I disagree. log_accum.pl already does that for top level
directories. This is where it's done:
#
# Otherwise if there's any text preceding the first '/', return that
# instead.
#
elsif ($path =~ /^([^\/]+)/) {
$mapped = $1;
}
I don't think my patch above makes much difference about
predictability. I know it's not an ideal solution but I
believe it just works.

This is a different issue. It has been discussed several
times and needs more discussion before the final dicision.
Until then, the old behavior should be preserved.
