Except that with subversion, you have already specified the branch itself,
before you specify the path/filename you are interested in. Personally, I have
to agree with the earlier suggestion to tying the revision request to the
repository:

        http://svn.host/path/to/repository@16254/path/to/file

which has the added advantage that the character '@' only has to be forbidden
from the repository path name itself (instead of random files/directories within
the repository).

My 2 cents
