Ah, I think I see.  I was looking for the old Zope/ZServer (before it
was moved to lib/python) and ViewCVS/Subversion doesn't seem to have a
facility for actually identifying how far back in time I need to go
before I can see it.  That led me to believe that http://svn.zope.org/
didn't actually contain the history in question. Thanks for the pointer.
