Wow! You expect to be able to browse a subversion repository based on the links
contained in files /stored/ in that repository??? I can see why it would be
nice, but I can also see that it is asking an awful lot of a fairly simple syntax.

If what the browser considers the base URL contains the semicolon, will all
relative links constructed from that URL also contain the semicolon, in the
appropriate place? I have no idea, and I'm not even sure I know how to test it.
