Could do it that way, you could also store the BaseURL and the entire
URL like we do now. I don't know which way is preferable. Greg might
have some useful info to add here.

Yeah, it tells me to ask Greg (or anybody else who knows) which bits of
the mod_dav_svn code path need to change to spit the data out. Or indeed
just figure it out if I need to. :)
