I won't mind at all and would even recommend doing so :)

You just use cvsroot=project_name. For _webpages_, you also use another vhost: 
web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org.

You can check what the URLs are by clicking in the links at 
http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=cvs


Examples:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/testyeight/BABA.diff?cvsroot=testyeight&tr1=1.58&tr2=1.59&r1=text&r2=text
http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/testyeight/index.html?rev=1.17&cvsroot=testyeight&view=log

(ViewCVS' URLs use "root=" instead of "cvsroot=", but only "cvsroot="
is compatible with both ViewCVS and CVSWeb)


The old syntax without cvsroot= is still available at Savannah for
backward-compatibility with the previous setup.
