This is Bonsai. See <http://www.mozilla.org/bonsai.html>.

DISCLAIMER
==========
This is not very well packaged code. It's not packaged at all. Don't
come here expecting something you plop in a directory, twiddle a few
things, and you're off and using it. Much work has to be done to get
there. We'd like to get there, but it wasn't clear when that would be,
and so we decided to let people see it first.
Don't believe for a minute that you can use this stuff without first
understanding most of the code.
Check out the INSTALL file for some guidance on getting started.
Many, many thanks to Artem Belevich <abelevic@ctron.com> for
trailblazing his way through this and writing down all the problems he
had.
============================
Configuration files you need
============================
Lots of configuration files need to be placed in the data subdir.
This is also where bonsai keeps its running state. These two things
ought to be split into different directories, but that hasn't happened
yet.
Some of these files are:
treeconfig.pl: some Perl source that defines @::TreeList, a list of trees you
want to track, and %::TreeInfo, information about each of those
trees. A sample treeconfig.pl:
@::TreeList = ('default', 'other');
%::TreeInfo = (
default => {
branch => '',
description => 'My CVS repository',
module => 'All',
repository => '/d2/cvsroot',
shortdesc => 'Mine',
},
other => {
branch => '',
description => 'Other CVS repository',
module => 'All',
repository => '/d2/otherroot',
shortdesc => 'Other',
},
);
1;
params: This file contains many operating parameters. This can be
edited using the editparams.cgi webpage; you should probably
not edit it directory.
The ./configure script will make a guess on the paramaters
that control paths for scripts to execute, and create an
initial params file for you. It looks for things on your
PATH, so if it complains, add the directories in which these
commands reside to your PATH, or override the path check, for
example:
setenv PERL /usr/local/lib/perl5
./configure
or for the Bourne shell:
PERL=/usr/local/lib/perl5 ./configure
hidelist: A list of regexps that define filenames that we don't want
to let people see via the bonsai pages. A common use is to
just have one line that says "CVSROOT".
=================================
What's What in the Bonsai sources:
=================================
This is a rough first pass at cataloging and documenting the Bonsai
sources. Many hands have been in this code over the years, and it has
accreted wildly. There is probably quite a lot of dead code in here.
THIS LIST IS PRETTY OLD AND OUT OF DATE. In particular, we don't have
any more TCL code; it's all either gone or ported to Perl.

cvsguess.cgi Given a file name, try to figure out what directory
it's in. then link to cvsblame.cgi. parameters are
the same.
Seems to take an exact file name (sans directory),
then do a redirect to cvsblame.cgi. If there are
more than one file of that name, it presents a list.
This is (I think) redundant with LXR's file name
search.

=================
Glossary of terms
=================
Here are some funky terms you may find here and there:
Hook The 'hook' is actually the oldest part of the Bonsai
code. The idea is, every so often (at Netscape, it was
every day), some build engineers will close the tree
and make sure that everything still builds properly.
If it doesn't, then the build engineers want to have a
list of people they can go beat up, this being the list
of people who changed the tree since the last time they
successfully built the tree. Those people are "on the
hook"; they are held responsible for any probs that
arise.
So, it works out to: the list of people who have
checked in since the tree was last closed.
