Please let us keep the URL syntax to something which does not change how
we know human visible URLs currently.

i.e., if the visible URL currently is:
http://svn.something.net/repository/project/branch1/file.c

Then please let us keep the (rev, path) pair syntax of the URL similar
to the above by appending the revision number in some conspicuous way.

http://svn.something.net/repository/project/branch1/file.c@1613
http://svn.something.net/repository/project/branch1/file.c/1613
http://svn.something.net/repository/project/branch1/file.c,1613

The above may be bad ideas for syntax -- they are just examples to
illustrate how the current human visible URL can be kept intact.

We could have a different way, like:
http://svn.something.net/repos/!svn/bc/234/<path>
but the above is more intuitive.
