A low-tech way to handle this, if your application has sufficient
server-side influence, would also be to "svn cp ..." the revision you
want to a particular location, and just leave it alone. For example, you
could do much like the svn.collab.net repository with a trunk directory
for the main sources, and a tags directory containing simple copies of
each major revision you want to track.

Note that if you use the XML version of the output, it's a little more
sane (using something like "SVNIndexXSLT /svnindex.xsl" in httpd.conf),
but I don't think I've seen anyone guarantee that the XML output will
remain fixed at all either.

Again, combination of the above would technically do the job, but DeltaV
sure seems like the way to go if you've got the time to do it right.
