I just checked in an adjustment to the public repository's traffic-table 
to resolve this problem.

For those of you interested in what was going on, we were using '/' 
terminated discriminators to distinguish between 'Zope' versus 'Zope3' 
versus 'Zope27' checkins, to distinguish eg:

> Update of /cvs-repository/Zope27/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py

and

> Update of /cvs-repository/Zope/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py

The problem is that checkins directly to the top-level directories of
those repository hierarchies would not have the slashes in them - they'd
just end there:

> Update of /cvs-repository/Zope 

This would fail to match any of the "Zope*/" variants, and go to the 
fallback list (which is for checkins concerning the cvs repository itself 
- the bookkeeping, and discussion).

The solution is to make the paths either include the slash or end there:

"Zope(/|$)"

(Hadn't used the regular-expression-ality of the path discriminators 
before - we could have called that YAGNI *until now*.)
