Yes, the subversion client *does* fetch older revisions of files using
GET. That's it's only option, because that's how the WebDAV/DeltaV
protocol works.
However, the svn client has to make a number of queries to 'discover'
the correct URL to GET. The server has the right to define the
resource space however it chooses; so the deltaV spec only defines a
way for the client to query/discover the correct URL that represents
the older file.
