Yes, but have you *tried* the above command, Ben?

It doesn't work.

To reach the baseline collection for rev=595, it must ask for a properly
from the /trunk/STACK resource. That resource does not exist in the HEAD, so
it doesn't exist, so you can't ask for the property.

Oops :-)

I thought I had wrote a short email about this. Basically, get_baseline_info
is going to have to navigate up through parents when it gets 404 on
resources. Eventually, it would get to a parent that can get it over to the
baseline collection for the specified revision. Then it can compose the
baseline-relpath property with the set of components that it navigated to
give you a URL to the item in the BC.

I've got some ideas for optimizing the network traffic, but the upwards
navigation will be the first fix. A custom report (ugh) would also fix the
problem.

I just posted issue #581 for this.

Cheers,
