Details:

or simple visit

http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc?sortby=date

an endless redirection loop happens.

http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc?sortby=date////////////////////

Only webbrowsers redirection limit stops it.
(in Firefox 67 about:config network.http.redirection-limit=20)

The http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/ says version 1.1.15 from 2012, the
current viewvc version is 1.1.27
https://github.com/viewvc/viewvc/releases/tag/1.1.27 . 

Maybe updating solves the problem? Debian packages are at least 1.1.26
