I don't know if you still want the --allow-root-regexp patch merged into 1.12.x, but I found some discussion in the archives and it sounds like we were waiting on documentation and test cases for the change.

I think this is a good way to prevent access to repositories outside
or downside the allowed hierarchy, while keeping it maintainable (no
list of repositories to rebuild), e.g.
--allow-root-regexp='^/srv/cvs/sources/[^/]+'

Unless there's a better way, here's an updated patch against HEAD :)

+       * Adapted 2001/2004 patch from Roland Mas <address@hidden>:
+
+       * main.c (main): Use new root_allow_regexp_add function, declare
+       new --allow-root-regexp option parameter.
+
+       * root.c: Added new functions root_allow_regexp_add and
+       root_allow_compare_regexp, new variables
+       root_allow_regexp. Modified root_allow_ok, root_allow_used and
+       root_allow_free. The code adds the matched repository path to
+       root_allow as if specified using --allow-root. --allow-root is not
+       mandatory anymore if --allow-root-regexp is used instead.
+
+       * NEWS, cvs.texinfo: Documented these changes.
+
+       * sanity.sh: added test cases as pserver-3b and pserver-3c,
+       updated pserver-3
