The cvs version of ViewCVS (http://viewcvs.sf.net/) has Subversion support
built into it. We have yet to release an official version (sigh) with that
support, but it's there.

The native/default web code will *not* provide extensive facilities for that
kind of stuff, though. There is just way too many features, and those are
way beyond what a version control system is truly built for. Our intent is
to defer to external tools for those extended features.
