Re: Official revision syntax for Subversion URLs

Can you explain that piece to me again? Any browsing is going to be mediated by
some other system, be it TortoiseSVN, ViewCVS, or raw WebDAV. Since that tool
would have to be enabled to support this in the first place, they could also be
enhanced to maintain that information.

For example, the WebDAV interface currently returns links that look like this:

        <a href="doc/">doc/</a>

If the user requested a specific revision of the that directory, the relative
link could easily look this:

        <a href="doc/;2345">doc/</a>

and if the user clicked on that link, all links generated on the next page would
automatically have the ';2345' appended like this:

        <a href="README;2345">README</a>

It would be nicer if the WebDAV interface would permit browsing changed
revisions on a specific file, but ViewCVS works fine in this respect...

Am I missing something?
