Working Directory
In order to keep information about repositories and modules, CVS Monitor will need a ( potentially large ) area where it can write files to. If this directory is lost, then CVS Monitor will lose all module data, and all modules and repositories will have to be added from scratch. The directory does not have to be empty ( I will create a subdirectory as needed ), but it does have to be writable as the user I am executing as ( in your case, '[web_user]' ).

Date Format
Although all dates internal to CVS are kept in GMT, CVS Monitor can alter the date format to make it more readable for people in various parts of the world.

Fixed ISO GMT

Dates are displayed in ISO format for the GMT timezone.

Example: 2002/05/14 00:45:19 GMT

Relative

Dates are displayed relative to the current time. This provides a display that is totally timezone independant.

Example: 1 hour and 35 minutes ago

Smart Dates are displayed in a mix of relative and fixed ISO GMT depending on context. Generally, relative will be used to short time periods, and fixed for longer.


Balance ChangeSets
The math throughout CVS Monitor is done using four main line metrics. The lines added in new files, the lines removed from deleted files, and the lines increased or decreased in an existing file. In a ChangeSet which involves files moving, the action is represented as an "add" and a "remove" of the same size. While the actual activity for a moved file is zero, a moved file or directory can represent huge spikes in the statistics. Balancing the ChangeSets line metrics will cancel the effects of add and remove lines against each other. ( Within a single ChangeSet only ). This will have the effect of "smoothing" out any large artificial activity spikes, without effecting the metrics where actual files were only added or only removed. Unless you have a good reason, you should turn this setting on.
