Added; the first page ( where there are the links to the repositories ),
have two links for every entry: one for the log, the second for the inventory

The file id is substituted by the revision_id of the file. If you click on
this link you go in the changelog on file basis; if you click on the name
you go on the file annotate. In this last page is showed the file_id.

If you link on a directory entry you go in the directory; if you
click on the log link at the right you can see the logs related to the
files contained in the directory

I am not a good web designer; I hope that someone will improve the aesthetic 
of this web interface...

What you described is similar to our revision entry
