Agh, I see the problem now.
One workaround is to disable the 'use_path_info' option in
Chora, which will result in IE seeing a '.php' extension
instead of the '.xml' extension. The old PATH_INFO urls
will still work, but new links will use GET propagation for
the cvs-path.
Another one is to pad the PATH_INFO for diffs with a '.txt'
extension which will fool IE. I don't think I'll bother
doing this when the above option is much cleaner.
