I'm not sure I get the motivation. This is showing up in HTML output,
right? Isn't it standard for a "Powered by Foo" tag to link back to
the Foo project? Why wouldn't we want to do that here?

How is "contribute referer urls to the subversion.tigris.org logs"
different from "browse to subversion.tigris.org", and assuming they
are equivalent, why would we not encourage the latter?
