Use ViewCVS. :-)

Seriously, cmpilato is almost done making this software work on
Subversion. Check out the latest source of ViewCVS to see.

Right. The only reason this works is because we're allowing a GET on
a directory... it's kind of a mod_dav_svn freebie.

The truth is, WebDAV doesn't have a standardized syntax for accessing
'baseline collections', which are equivalent to svn revisions.
Instead, the WebDAV client has a standard set of methods for
*discovering* an opaque URL that represents a particular baseline
collection. Every DAV/deltaV server has the right to define its own
syntax.

So at the moment, mod_dav_svn has its own syntax. But it might change
at anytime, and we don't want people habituating to it. If I told you
what it was, I'd have to kill you. :-)
