It seems that cvsweb Perl script does not handle cvs output of removed files
properly.
I have just added workaround for cvsweb.NetBSD.org.

https://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/www/chromium/patches/Attic/patch-services_device_hid_hid__service__netbsd.cc?rev=1.14

returns

Error: pkgsrc/www/chromium/patches/Attic/patch-services_device_hid_hid__service__netbsd.cc is not (any longer) pertinent

now.

Thank you.
