Why? Is there a good reason why this should not be used? As I see it it would be
another compelling reason to use Subversion, and the feature is already there!
Use case:
+-------------------------------------+
| Subversion |
+-------------------------------------+
^ |
| |
GET "home.xml" "home.xml"
in revision 1234 in revision 1234
| |
| v
+-------------------------------------+
| Web application |
+-------------------------------------+
^ |
| |
GET "home.html" "home.html"
| |
| v
+-------------------------------------+
| Browser |

ViewCVS will be a very good tool when the user is a human being. However if the user is a program
of some sort it does "too much" :-)
