Nice. I like it much better than the
"stick-on-end-of-path-with-magic-separator", with "?", it's just a
parameter to the request.

Unfortunatly, URI's doesn't allow parametrisation before paths, which
would allow us to map properly into URI's:

The "stick-on-end-of-path-with-magic-separator"-method isn't exactly
modelling the svn world either :)

The things SVN repositories represent doesn't map very cleanly into the
URI syntax, and that's too bad. Now svn just have to decide which evil
it'll live with forever, and ever...
