I am updating this page with the latest learnings from today about the
www ACLs.

  https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/UserAuthentication/

The history file needed a tweak.

  /webcvs/metalogic-inference/CVSROOT/history

But the history file update is only a warning and therefore I think
this worked anyway.

Lots.  I ran this command to set all of them as of this moment.

  vcs:/web# setfacl -m group:www:rw- /web/*/CVSROOT/history
  vcs:/web# find . -name CVSROOT -prune -o -type d -exec setfacl -m 
default:group:www:rwx -m group:www:rwx {} +
  vcs:/web# find . -name CVSROOT -prune -o -type f -exec setfacl -m 
group:www:rw- {} +

So at this moment I think all should be up to date.  The ongoing
question will be if new projects get set up correctly or not.

Please let us know if this fixes the current permission problems.
